Research shows that the most common causes of stress and unhappiness in the workplace are:
Feeling you're under-qualified for the job
Feeling you're over-qualified for the job
Poor management
Having different beliefs and values from your employers
People poisoning, when you feel you have no escape from the people around you.
These can lead to:
Problems in relationships with your manager and your colleagues
Unclear or confused work roles
Overload
Boredom
Conflicting demands
Feeling that the demands of the job are outside your control
This may be followed by feelings of helplessness and your performance falls, resulting in yet more anxiety, all of which can seriously undermine your health - and all these problems are being taken home with you.
RFLI offer an 'In-House Training Programme' for work related stress.
