Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work with the theme “Stress in the Workplace: A Collective Challenge”. Valentina Forastieri, Senior Occupational Hygiene and Health Promotion Specialist, ILO, talks about the latest research on the effects of stress in the workplace.

The relationship between stress in the workplace and poor mental health of workers has already been clearly established. A recent ILO study from around the world, including Asia, the Americas, Australia and Europe, found that stress-related work costs innumerable billions of dollars in direct and indirect costs on a global scale. year. And this is without taking into account the losses "paid for" by poverty, suffering, and sometimes suicide.

Growing pressure at work

Global competitive processes have transformed the organization of work, work relationships and the structure of employment, which contributes to an increase in work-related stress and subsequent illness. The current pace of work is dictated by the capabilities of instant communication and the high level of global competition. The lines separating work from life are becoming more and more blurred. It is very difficult to achieve the necessary balance between work and personal life. And this phenomenon is truly global.

For example, a study noted that in Japan, 32.4% of workers suffer from feelings of intense anxiety, anxiety and stress at work. In Chile, 27.9% of workers and 13.8% of employers reported stress and depression in their factories. Similar data was found in almost every country that took part in the study.

In addition, the effects of the global economic crisis and recession are still strongly felt, which forced many enterprises to scale back their economic activities in order to remain competitive. This includes increased restructuring, layoffs, mergers, outsourcing and subcontracting, precarious types of employment and a higher likelihood of mass layoffs, unemployment, poverty and social exclusion.

Such trends are “social and psychological risks”. In enterprises, they have contributed to increased competition, higher expectations for productivity, fast-paced and intense work, unstable work schedules, higher demands, lack of job security and control over the content and organization of work, and reduced job opportunities. Add to this the fear of losing your jobs, lower staff motivation, lower satisfaction and creativity, and lower financial stability. Ultimately, these are serious consequences for the mental health and well-being of workers, with a significant decrease in the financial component.

The direct and indirect costs of workplace stress are just beginning to be calculated. However, some developed countries are already assessing the economic consequences of work-related stress, behavioral patterns and mental disorders. For example, in Europe, the estimated cost of depression-related jobs is € 617 billion per year, which includes employers' costs associated with employee absenteeism (€ 272 billion), lost productivity (€ 242 billion), health care costs (€ 63 billion). €) and social security (39 billion €).

What You Can Do To Reduce Work Stress Loss

5 ideas that the ILO believes work:

Continue focusing. Awareness of these issues is growing. In most countries, politicians and social partners are involved in specific interventions to tackle the psychosocial hazards that cause work-related stress. Social partners are also actively involved in this process, awareness campaigns are widespread, and many research networks and professional associations are joining the work.

Prevention. Mental health protection in the workplace has a stronger impact when it is targeted at preventive strategies. It is imperative that a combination of collective and individual interventions in dealing with the causes and consequences of work-related stress is combined.

Inclusion of workers in the decision-making process ... Increased opportunities for participation in decision-making processes associated with greater satisfaction and higher self-esteem. In the long term, even a small amount of autonomy in performing tasks is beneficial for the mental health and productivity of workers. Participation in decision making in the workplace reduces the impact of psychosocial hazards such as demand for jobs and leads to a decrease in psychological stress.

Control. An integrated OSH management system will ensure improved preventive practices and the inclusion of health promotion measures. This should include psychosocial risks in risk assessment and their effective management in order to reduce the impact of these risks, as well as other OSH risks in the workplace. Employee participation in this process is critical.

Organizational culture. The ILO experience shows the importance of the social environment in fostering a culture of behavior at work and in assessing its value; HR policies play a role in ensuring a working relationship based on trust, authenticity and partnership.

Today, workers around the world are experiencing significant changes in work organization and labor relations; they are under great pressure to meet the needs of modern working life. For our health, our well-being and our development, we must continue to work collectively to reduce the impact of stress in the workplace.

Workshop-meeting -

Workplace Stress: A Collective Challenge

On the eve of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work on April 28, 2016, the State Public Institution “Employment Center of the Sarmanovsky District held a seminar-meeting on labor safety issues” World Day for Safety and Health at Work under the motto “Stress at the workplace: a collective challenge”.

In 2016, the theme of World Day for Safety and Health at Work was declared "Stress at Work: A Collective Challenge." In every region of the world, governments, trade unions, employers' organizations and health and safety practitioners are organizing events for World Day 28 April, celebrating World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we

draw attention to the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases at the global level, the goal of the company is to draw the attention of the international community to the latest trends in the field of occupational safety and the scale of industrial injuries, occupational morbidity and mortality worldwide.

The International Health Organization (World Health Organization) ranks stress as one of the main diseases threatening human health in the 21st century. In Russia, according to analysts, every third employee experiences severe stress at least once a week, and 13% - almost daily, more than 90% of employees admit that their psychological state is determined precisely by the results of work, and not by internal resources, such as, for example , Confidence in your strength. According to research by the insurance company St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co, problems at work lead to illness more often than any other stressor, even financial or family problems. Therefore, managing work-related stress is a key element in ensuring the health, safety and well-being of workers. In the workplace, you cannot afford to ignore the work-related stress that causes a loss of employee productivity.

Stress (from the English stress - "pressure", "tension") is understood as an emotional state that arises in response to all kinds of extreme influences.

Stress is a state of an individual that arises as a response to various extreme types of external and internal environmental influences that unbalance the physical or psychological functions of a person.

Types of stress:

Eustress - the concept has two meanings - "stress caused by positive emotions" and "light stress that mobilizes the body."

Distress is a negative type of stress that the body cannot cope with. It undermines human health and can lead to serious illness. The immune system suffers from stress.

Emotional stress - emotional processes accompanying stress and leading to adverse changes in the body.

Psychological stress - as a type of stress, is understood differently by different authors, but many authors define it as stress caused by social factors.

"Positive" stress leads to a long stay in a state of high spirits, which has a very beneficial effect on the body: immunity increases, diseases recede, a person feels a surge of joy, looks great and feels great.

"Negative" stress unsettles for a long time and significantly undermines health.

What could be a stressor?

1.Physical stressors: heat, cold, noise, fire, traffic, violence, disease, poor working conditions, etc.

2. Social stressors: social, economic and political; family; work-related, career-related; interpersonal stressors.

3. Family stressors: distribution of responsibilities, jealousy, difference in value systems, illness, etc.

Stages of development of a stressful state in humans:

    growing tension; stress itself; reduction of internal tension

First (anxiety stage)

Anxiety is the body's response to real or perceived aggression. This stage of stress is also called "fight or flight" or the stage of mobilization.

Signs of the anxiety phase are: intermittent and rapid breathing, heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, lump in the throat, restlessness. The pupils dilate and the muscles tighten. These reactions are triggered by a release that prepares the body for immediate action.

Second (stage of resistance)

In this stage of stress, the body begins to adapt to the stress experienced. If the pressure or aggression lasts for a long time, an addictive reaction appears, allowing the body to become more resilient in this situation: in this way the body can avoid exhaustion, as it compensates for the energy consumption caused by stress.

This stage of stress is also called internal stress, a period of maladjustment. Physically, the resistance phase is characterized by fatigue, anxiety, forgetfulness.

Third (stage of exhaustion)

If the previous stages of stress are passed, and the adaptive forces of the body are not large enough, the third stage begins - the stage of exhaustion. It occurs under the condition of very long-term exposure to a stress factor. At this stage of tension, the reserve forces of the organism are depleted, depleted. This situation can lead to illness or deterioration in the general condition of the body.

The effects of stress

According to some Western experts, up to 70% of diseases are associated with emotional stress. In Europe, more than a million people die every year due to stress-related disorders of the cardiovascular system.

Occupational health is the ability of the human body to maintain the specified compensatory and protective properties that ensure efficiency in its conditions.

The more pronounced they are, the more likely it is to prolong professional longevity.

Good afternoon, dear colleagues!

April 28 - World Day for Safety and Health at Work. And within the framework of this event, the topic was proposed: Stress in the workplace: a collective challenge "The school year is nearing the end, it means that you have accumulated fatigue, so I ask everyone to relax, relax your muscles, free your head from thoughts, take a deep breath and exhale. So we begin.

For many, my words will not be new, I do not discover America ... but sometimes, the obvious, voiced from the outside, can be useful.

The topic of our meeting on Occupational Safety Day is stress, emotional burnout, because our profession is most susceptible to these unpleasant consequences. Yes, labor protection is not only instructions, an evacuation plan and commissions. This is also psychological hygiene, stress prevention, etc., that is, everything that helps to protect a working person from occupational injuries, improves his physical and emotional health, and increases labor productivity. So, first, let's figure out what are the causes of stress. We are all perfectly familiar with this concept, the state, we often experience it.

So, there are many causes of stress: accumulated fatigue, chronic lack of sleep, conflicts, ecology, nutrition, problems at work and at home, the country's economy, bad news, envy, health problems, not livability. There are many reasons, as we can see, and as a consequence, a person who does not know how or does not want to deal with stressful situations leads himself to depression (which, by the way, is already a diagnosis). To whom does it feel bad? To you, your family, relatives, colleagues.

This is reflected in your life, productivity, and so on.

A person is like a vessel - what you fill it with. Then it will pour out. And if you fill it with negativity, bad news, envy, criticism, discontent and the like for a long time, you need to find a way out for this content.

In addition, we also have a home, family, farm, pots, cleaning - this is a huge additional burden.

Accumulated stress and fatigue can lead to Burnout Syndrome (EBS). We see the reasons on the screen.

Phase I - tension of psychological defenses of the personality
Everything seems to be fine, but emotions are muffled, the acuteness of feelings and experiences disappears. Everything becomes boring, my soul is empty, my favorite work does not make me happy, there is dissatisfaction with myself and even a feeling of my own uselessness, lack of a way out.
Suddenly, allegedly for no reason, the internal conflicts of the personality, which were previously dormant inside, are activated, and a state of depression creeps up.

Phase II - resistance, (resistance) psychological defenses
People with whom a person works begin to annoy him, especially clients and visitors. The person begins to dismiss them, and then almost hate them. At the same time, a “burnout” person himself cannot understand the reason for the growing wave of irritation in him.
In the phase of resistance, the possibilities for working in the proposed mode are exhausted, and the human psyche begins to unconsciously change the regime, removing the factors that have become stressful: sympathy, empathy, empathy for people - and, preferably, the people themselves too: the further people go, the calmer.

Phase III - exhaustion
At this stage, there is a loss of professional values ​​and health. Out of habit, the specialist still retains his respectability, but the "empty look" and "ice heart" are already visible. The very presence of another person nearby causes a feeling of discomfort and nausea, up to real vomiting.
In this phase, the resources of the psyche are completely depleted, somatization occurs. The likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, etc. is high.

You work hard and hard. To earn money, to be realized, to provide for a family, to build a career. It's clear. But to do it well, you need to be able to rest and gain energy and strength. We all know the wheel of life well. To live in harmony with yourself, with the environment, you need to put all aspects in order: health, family, work, material well-being, so that the wheel of life rolls smoothly and in the right direction.

We found out what it is, now HOW to deal with it! The most important thing you have to decide for yourself. Do you have a dream? That for which you live, move, get up in the morning, endure all the difficulties, burn out at work. If it is not there, you have to get hold of it. Then life will not be meaningless, routine and dull. First, write for yourself all your dreams, plans, desires. There will be no list, there will be no clear vision.

Start and end your day with gratitude. To God. To yourself, loved ones.

Write down all problems and tasks. Short term and long term, priority ones and those that can wait. Be sure to write it down, and you will see that many problems do not exist, or they are not so terrible. Your thoughts are systematized, solutions and exits will come.

If a co-worker annoys you, avoid meeting him. Hang whatever you like on the wall opposite, turn on the music at recess ... .. close for a while, turn away to the window. Do some breathing exercises, close your eyes, don't think about anything .... dream ... smile

Here are some more tips for avoiding or avoiding stress:

Separate work and play. Once a week, a month, make yourself a do-nothing day. Leave even household chores, dishes, washing, read a book, listen to music….

Meeting with a friend ... a glass of wine, a cup of aromatic coffee .. casual conversation or discussion of problems .. if it is a colleague at work, no talk about work.

Going out into nature, fishing, hiking, excursion, trip.

Pay attention to your appearance. Go to the hairdresser, manicure, massage ... the price of the issue is 200-300 rubles, you haven't earned them?

Cycling, walking, to the park, to the greenery, to the river

Autotraining has not been canceled yet. More often tell yourself in the mirror how beautiful and smart you are, that everything is fine with you, it is wonderful that you love life and those around you. By the way, at this moment, thank God for what you have, and forgive your enemies and envious people. Learn breathing exercises, exercises.

Hobby. Keep yourself busy with activities that bring pleasure. Maybe over time this hobby will start to make money.

Balanced, wholesome nutrition

A trip to the sea, excursion around Crimea, going to the cinema, theater

This I gave you REAL examples.

There is also travel, change of activity, sports, shopping, extreme sports.

The most important thing is the change of activity. Those. if your life is dynamic and hectic, then size and balance it. If life seems the same and boring, then add adrenaline.

Stress is actually not that scary and even beneficial. Adrenaline, dynamics, development, the main thing is not to accumulate stress and not bring yourself to depression and burnout.

Love yourself, the life, those around you. Remember that horses must plow ... and we women must decorate the world, because the universe rests on our fragile and strong shoulders. Learn to enjoy life, work, and yourself.
