Experts often lament about excessive stress being harmful for the health of professionals. While that may be true, several professionals are also in the know that stress translates into positive results if activated in the right way. Responses to dealing with stress or pressure at the workplace are different for varying sets of people. And thus it is an art and not a science as to how much pressure to be applied. Increase in frequency and focus of corporate training may be an effective way the management can mitigate the negative impacts of stress. The individual must be explained that his / her stress is nothing unnatural but a natural consequence encountered by many. Frequent feedback must be provided, preferably positive. The problem can be broken down into bits so that individual parts may be resolved first. Also the problem must be tackled structurally. Most importantly, a sense of confidence needs to be modeled within the employees concerned.
