How to deal with stress at work

Are you struggling to cope with stress?

With April marking Stress Awareness Month, we wanted to share our expertise on managing stress at work. Stress is common in work, and many people who take Calmer’s masterclasses and training courses come to us reporting everything from high-intensity pressure, to long-term, unresolved episodes of stress that lead to burnout.

The reality is that burnout has hit record levels in recent years, and there’s never been a more significant time to educate ourselves on the impact of unresolved stress and explore evidence-based ways to prevent burnout from escalating. In this article, we explore the common signs of stress, how stress manifests, and ways to cope with stress at work.

As a result, vast numbers of people have remained at home instead of returning to the office, and working from home has become a normality for many of us.

This week, guest writer Rosie Buckley shares five tips to support your mental health and wellbeing in this ever-evolving world of flexible working.
