Ways to Destroy Employee Anxiety

When you are looking to help reduce employee anxiety while on the jobsite, remember that you can do so in a few simple ways. Let’s look at some of the ways in which you can take care of employee anxiety once and for all.

First, make sure everyone’s job is safe. Have plans for what happens when your company merges and any other job loss situation that might occur. Be sure that everything is planned out in advance as far as job security. If you cannot guarantee that, then job stress will be that much higher.

Secondly, implement workplace drug testing. Your employees have enough to think about without having to make extra considerations for each other. What if one employee abuses drugs or alcohol and becomes a danger to his or her coworkers? It is best to know about all of these incidents and potentiality for incidents well ahead of time.

Thirdly, connect with your employees on a more personal basis. Empty encouragement is not as good as sincere encouragement, and criticism should always be measured off with some statement of fact about their competency, as well. If you don’t know your workers personally, then find out who does and encourage them to make a deeper, more caring connection. Either way, make sure that your employees know that YOU care, and not just some office memo of thanks to everyone.

Fourth, don’t try to systematize this human connection. In reality, almost every single tiny detail of your business can be systematized, but don’t do it to people. They will feel like the robots that you are treating them as, and it will all go to pot after that.

In conclusion, remember that onsite drug & alcohol testing is further systematization of a process which is already very efficient. This will make it even easier for your employees to not really have a problem with being screened and to just go ahead with things, anyway.
