Our presentation consisted of a few simple techniques that can help alleviate stress in the work place. Dr. Brown added that while stress is a problem associated with virtually every job imaginable, employees can maintain a high level of effectiveness by learning to manage their stress levels. Simply put, happy, stress-free employees are also highly productive employees. Brown, an expert in human memory, has found that people can often reduce their stress level by improving their memory.
Memory affects worker performance and stress levels.
Forgetting the big meeting or big project can be very, very stressful.
