Having to worry about COVID-19 on top of workplace stresses can build up and truly start to affect your employees mental and physical health. To help your employees, there&#8217;s some useful tips and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fun stress relieving activities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are sure to improve the mindset and environment of your workforce whether they&#8217;re remote or in the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De-Clutter and Revamp Your Work Environment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so much on the brain to work through, you don\u2019t need additional clutter in your surroundings to create a distraction or make you worry about trivial things. Stress comes not only from what you go through on a personal and professional level but from the environment around you. Think about what in your office space affects the functionality as well as the productivity of your employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get rid of unnecessary materials and ensure your employees are working with as much space as possible, only equipped with what they need to carry out their tasks. You can also make the atmosphere more pleasant, adding simple things like plants and artwork to make the mood feel calmer. Updating the office with some new calming colors or paint schemes can also add an improved aesthetic quality to the surroundings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote Wellness on the Job\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working on a computer all day leaves you both sedentary and susceptible to all sorts of health issues as well as back and joint pain. Not to mention that staring at a laptop all day can lead to strain in your eyes and bad posturing if you\u2019re having to constantly adjust to view something on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing this, you should encourage wellness and exercise in the workplace at every turn. Tell your workers to take walks to and from their desks now and then during their workdays and\/or throughout their breaks. Stock the fridge and cupboards with healthy snacks such as fruit or yogurt. Studies show that doing so improves workplace mood <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/2015\/09\/16\/study-says-snacks-affect-happiness-at-work\/72259746\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by over 80%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sort out some virtual or in-person workout sessions that employees can partake in during their breaks or right after work to get the blood flowing properly. If you\u2019re into sporting activities, adding things such as a ping-pong or foosball table is a nice touch. If they can\u2019t get away from their computers for too long, desktop games and puzzles make for<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fun stress relieving activities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can even get some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/round-stress-reliever.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom stress balls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help employees squeeze out the frustration when they feel like they want to get their hands on something when work becomes stressful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging wellness creates a more personal connection with employees, showing that you care for their well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/best-health-promotional-items-corproate-wellness-programs.jpg\" alt=\"Best Health Promotional Items For Your Corporate Wellness Program\" width=\"750\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/best-health-promotional-items-corproate-wellness-programs.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/best-health-promotional-items-corproate-wellness-programs-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote Social Activity<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace harmony is enhanced once you create a social atmosphere where employees from different departments and backgrounds can mingle. Host workplace parties and meet-and-greets to encourage employees to break the ice, share bits about themselves and build some trust with each other. A happier workplace is a healthier workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re working virtually, hosting a Zoom meet-and-greet of another type of gathering is helpful to try and make up for the lack of physical interaction. Employees can establish chemistry and put names to faces as they work with each other from afar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/must-haves-for-virtual-holiday-parties-header.jpg\" alt=\"Must-Haves For Virtual Holiday Parties\" width=\"750\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/must-haves-for-virtual-holiday-parties-header.jpg 750w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/must-haves-for-virtual-holiday-parties-header-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer Counseling<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The added worries triggered by the pandemic make this paramount, with more companies employing counseling services to help workers not only manage work stress but anything that may be going on at home. This can be done inside the office, over the phone, or through a video call\/conference, with individual or group settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light Up the Atmosphere<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liven up the surroundings with some natural light to make the place feel enjoyable, like a hub where mass productivity can be achieved. The emphasis here is on natural light as artificial lighting will cost more due to the amount of energy it burns. Natural light will not only save you money, but will enhance the mood and focus around the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your employees are working from home, advise them to work in an area where some good lighting or sunlight can shine through, so they feel better mentally and actually become more productive at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/athleisure-apparel.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Athleisure Apparel\" width=\"642\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/athleisure-apparel.jpg 642w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/athleisure-apparel-300x258.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put in Some Fresh Scents\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like some bright lights, some fresh smells can uplift the mood in your office spaces and make things more refreshing. You can use something simple like a scented candle, scented oils to plug into various sockets across the spaces, or a diffuser. Give the surroundings a good spray with some Febreeze or similar brands now and then as well in case any funk smells emerge. Breathing good air breathes fresh life into your workday. If you haven\u2019t thought about it like that before, this Stress Relief Month would be a great time to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly Define Work Responsibilities<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workers feel more at ease when they know what they\u2019re doing and for how long. Once employees know what their job responsibilities are and the expectations that are attached to them, they\u2019ll have a clearer understanding, giving them more confidence to perform and easing pressure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know that pressure is a given with any job, but having the knowledge and confidence from management to do a task makes handling that pressure more manageable. Outline daily, weekly and monthly tasks as well as targets, so workers have something tangible to achieve. Should they be successful in achieving their targets\/tasks, then rewarding them, either with an award or perks, will make them feel valued, and you feel personal satisfaction. They may well like you after all!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, ensure the shifts you\u2019re handing out to employees are reasonable as overexertion and being pressed with too many responsibilities trigger stress and underwhelming productivity. Try to limit work shifts to 10 hours or less if possible, so employees have adequate rest time, boosting output, energy, and focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress-Relieving Products For Your Employees<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of hurting your hand by punching something or eating junk food to ease the frustration, here are some products iPromo offers to help you deal with stress more constructively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pop Fidget Toys<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20415\/Pop-Fidget-Toys.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">custom pop fidget toys<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a playful way to reduce stress levels.
