1.2. Lira had a meeting with the wellness practitioner to inform her that retail
store managers are complaining of post-COVID work-related and
personal stress. Lira is concerned that the managers may eventually
experience job burnout. Discuss some approaches the wellness
practitioner can suggest in managing job stress at Bunco Builders to
prevent job burnout.
Here are some approaches the wellness practitioner can suggest to manage job stress
at Bunco Builders and prevent job burnout:
1. Promote work-life balance: Encourage managers to take breaks, use their leave
days, and prioritize their personal lives. This can include flexible work
arrangements, such as working from home or adjusted work hours, to help
managers manage their personal and work-related responsibilities.
, 2. Offer stress management programs: Provide stress management programs, such
as mindfulness training, yoga, or meditation, to help managers manage their stress
levels. These programs can be offered virtually or in-person and can be
customized to meet the specific needs of the managers.
3. Encourage regular physical activity: Encourage managers to engage in regular
physical activity, such as going for a walk or participating in a fitness class. This
can help managers manage their stress levels and improve their overall health and
well-being.
4. Provide resources for mental health support: Offer resources and support for
mental health, such as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or counseling
services. These resources can help managers manage their stress and prevent
job burnout.
5. Foster a positive work environment: Promote a positive work environment by
recognizing and celebrating successes, encouraging teamwork and collaboration,
and creating opportunities for career development and growth. A positive work
environment can help managers feel supported and motivated, which can reduce
stress levels and prevent job burnout.
By implementing these approaches, the wellness practitioner can help Bunco Builders'
managers manage their stress levels and prevent job burnout, leading to a happier and
healthier workplace.
