Whether it "speaks' to you personally or you're just learning more about how to be an effective supervisor, business owner or leader, keep in mind these things!

Here are some common work stressors...take note!
  • Job descriptions too vague, out of date and general unpredictability of the job and expectations is among the highest of stressors
  • Workplace environment and culture that is unclear; mission/values not matching behaviors; A good, compliant, detailed employee handbook will resolve many of the issues employees worry about, the rest are behaviors of their role models and co workers!
  • Unclear deadlines and priorities
  • Uncertain as to the purpose of their role 
  • Performance evaluations that are not done or worse yet, promised and no follow through
  • Personal safety
  • Length of workday and workweek
While the type of job does add to which of the factors above are weighted more heavily, keep in mind these basic human needs in the workplace. Too often we get so busy we miss the "obvious".  HR professionals keep this in front of you, keeping employees motivated, content and productive is the sole purpose of any supervisor, business owner and leader, so keep in check what you need to in order to optimize your effectiveness!

Too often the HR components of any business are the last to get the attention when in fact the HR components of any organizations or business are the most important aspect of ensuring you are compliant, effective, efficient and high performing.

Since this is at the top of the list...learn more about the value of job descriptions:
