One of the easiest ways to understand the solution, is to view the stress model created by Albert Ellis. He calls is the ABC-model:
The A of activating factor: the thing that activates your stress, the potential stress creating situation or event.
The B of beliefs or your view: your experiences, thoughts, interpretations or beliefs concerning the situation.
The C of consequences: the emotional consequences or the stress coming from your experiences, thoughts, interpretations or beliefs concerning the situation.
In other words:
A potentially stress causing situation A -> your way of dealing with it B -> Experiencing stress C .
- You can as company reduce the "Activating factor" by reducing stress in the working environment. Look here for training programs.
A top set of the present most existing causes of stress at work:

- You can support and guide your employees to change the way they view the situation and their "Beliefs" about it. This is what we do in our training.
Our courses offer the participants to identify and change deep, blocking, unconscious beliefs. The participants transform these beliefs and patterns guided by trainers using NLP-techniques. After the course the participant is able to meet the the work environment requirements.
All courses are custom made and in company. Please contact us to inform you how we will solve your issues.
- The final option is to offer your employees to help them deal with the "Consequences".
As a company you can help relax stressed personnel by offering facilities, like arrange sports during working hours, offering discounts at a local sports club. Or relaxing activities like chair massage, lunch Tai Chi, lunch yoga, etc.
