In addition, workers feel that lack of motivation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/managing-poor-performance\/\">lack of good performance<\/a>, and disengagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ve compiled some workplace stress statistics to understand how these factors lead to workplace stress and negatively impact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/building-work-relationships\/\">employee-manager relationship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees require a clear line between work and personal lives. Therefore, the concept of \u201cmore time in the workplace means more work done\u201d is not rational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers need to understand that employees need a few hours away from work after a reasonable number of hours. They would want to spend the rest of their time relaxing with their friends and family. Expecting them to be available at that time is not a healthy idea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do we resolve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that your organization takes a positive approach towards workplace stress. Here are a few ways to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focus on activities around employee well-being: Yoga\/exercise\/meditation sessions can be fruitful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a bold line between personal and professional lives. Ensure zero calls\/messages after working hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conduct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/employee-engagement-guide\/\">employee engagement activities<\/a>. Change the perception of a workplace that only revolves around tasks and lacks engagement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mental health is not taboo: Clear this misconception. Offer counseling sessions and tell your employees that you care about them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/blog\/employee-wellness-program-ideas\/\">Encourage more self-care activities<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\"><strong><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Trivia Virtual Water Cooler helps remote employees get to know each other and connect on a personal level<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/workplace-stress-statistics\/#%E2%8F%AC_Checkout_Workplace_Stress_Statistics_Here_Infographic\" >\u23ec Checkout Workplace Stress Statistics Here [Infographic]<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/workplace-stress-statistics\/#Statistics_on_Signs_of_a_Stressful_Work_Environment\" >Statistics on Signs of a Stressful Work Environment<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"#\" data-href=\"https:\/\/blog.springworks.in\/workplace-stress-statistics\/#Workplace_Burnout_Statistics_Personal_Life\" >Workplace Burnout Statistics &amp;
