Most of all you need to tell them they are doing a good job. Companies need to provide an incentive for employees to remain emotionally engaged during stressful times, one analyst says. They need to feel a sense of accomplishment. Without that reward, workers lose their motivation and the ability to cope with stress. They just refuse to do it.
Stress management is a two-way street.
Employers need to make allowances where they can by relaxing dress codes, allowing telecommuting, and giving personal days to workers who need to recuperate from long workweeks. Workers are responsible for managing their own stress levels, remaining engaged and productive on the job, and communicating their concerns to managers to come up with solutions before a crisis arises. Often burnout comes from employees' own unrealistic expectations of what they can achieve. There are simple actions they can take. Consistently guard and uphold free time.
