How Employers can Manage Stressful Situations and help Interns Lead on
Stress is an inevitable part of life. We all deal with stress from a variety of sources, such as our jobs, families, daily responsibilities, plans for the future, and so on. Workplace dynamics may be affected for a short time as a result of these occurrences. Understanding how these stressful events can affect you, your colleagues, and the general workplace environment will help you cope in times of crisis.
However demanding your job is, there are ways to keep yourself healthy and happy at work while avoiding the negative effects of stress.
Let's get right to it, then.

Different people respond in different ways to the same stimulus because of their personal experiences and the environment in which they live.
Some of us turn to our cultural and ethnic values for comfort and support when we are in stressful situations.
Each of these factors has an impact on how we understand and react to various situations. You and your interns would both feel stressed during certain situations and issues.

There are some situations that affect nearly everyone, and it's up to you to keep them from happening:

•    Feeling helpless and powerless
•    A lack of focus or a sense of direction
•    Disorientation
•    Acquitted of a lapse in performance or non-compliance
•    The burden of too many duties.
•    Uncertainty about the future
•    Excessive self-confidence Anxiety about being criticised
•    Due to a reduction in staff, there will be more work to be done.
•    Working under a lot of stress without feeling accomplished
•    The constant need to perform at peak capacity
•    You have no say in how you carry out your work duties.


Colleagues will appreciate it if you are patient, open, and compassionate.

•    Shock at the emotional impact
•    Worries and anxiety
•    Confusion and Anxiety
•    Helplessness
•    Control, trust, confidence, and purpose have been lost.
•    Pain and rage
•    How stress affects the dynamics in the workplace.


1. Moderate and excessive stress can be distinguished. Even a small amount of stress in the workplace can help you and your team stay motivated, focused, and ready to tackle new tasks. When you hand in a completed project or deliver results to management, it keeps you motivated.

2. Preventing accidents and surviving are made possible by your instincts. Our daily lives have become far too emotionally charged as a result of the overuse of stress medication in the workplace.

3. The long hours, short deadlines, and ever-increasing responsibilities of the team make them feel anxious, exhausted, and overwhelmed. When the amount of stress you are under exceeds your ability to handle it, it begins to cause physical and mental harm. In spite of the dire circumstances, you have the power to take control of the situation. Take action if stress is interfering with your personal or professional relationships.

A manager's guide to reducing workplace stress

If you're in charge of a workplace, you can make a positive impact by being a good role model. As a leader, if you can remain calm under pressure, your employees will be able to follow your lead more easily and effectively. Workplace dynamics can be improved by you initiating activities.
Communication with the team is one of them.

Have a discussion with them about the specific things that stress them out at work. It's amazing what a big impact a few tweaks can have. It's critical for managers and employees to stay in touch in order to reduce stress and anxiety at work and in the workplace as a whole. When you're with a co-worker, make an effort to hear and understand what he has to say. They will be more engaged if they are involved in the process.

Clarify your expectations before distributing tasks.
The best way to ensure that your actions are in line with the values of your organisation is to clearly define each employee's job responsibilities and objectives. Finally, you can reward and incentivize employees for completing tasks and projects.
Providing genuine praise for a colleague's or a team's accomplishments can have a positive impact on their overall performance.
