ReplyDeleteThe other thing stress cause is employees tend to involve in conflicts and spreading bad image within society about organization as employee is dissatisfied with the job.
There are some other ways according to my knowledge that can help employees to minimize stress in banking sector. They are
- giving training about stress management
- allow employees to build up good relationship with subordinates (as they can talk about difficulties they talk than stick into themselves )
- managers can have good relationship with employees that they can identify easily about change of an employee
- arrange some programs to show off employees artistic capabilities .
