It can be tough enough to manage your own stress. But how can you, as a manager, help the members of your team handle their feelings of stress, burnout, or disengagement?
Because work is getting more demanding and complex, and because many of us now work in 24/7 environments, anxiety and burnout are not uncommon. In our high-pressure workplaces, staying productive and engaged can be challenging.
Although it’s unlikely that the pace or intensity of work will change much anytime soon, there’s a growing body of research that suggests certain types of development activities can effectively build the capacity for resilience.

As a budding psychologist, and having been a manager myself, it is quite a challenge in helping manage team stress, anxiety and burnout if you are experiencing these yourself. A psychologist can add value within an organisation by helping managers with tools to build residence within themselves and provide techniques to help staff handle stress. Many large organisation have service like EAP (employee assist programs) which provide staff confidential sessions with psychologists, usually 4 per year, however I see potentially value in large companies having psychologists as staff to help before a situation becomes a crisis.
