Stress Management For Supervisors and Employees

Stress Management For Supervisors And Employees - Stress is the body's attempt to adjust to any changes in the environment; to be able to maintain a healthy balance in the body. The body goes into an alarm system of readiness to protect itself and to defend itself. Any interference or any interruption with the body's normal functioning causes an alarm to sound and creates a response called the GAS, which is the General Adaptation Syndrome. This is called the stress response. Adrenaline is poured into the blood stream and the body goes into a state of readiness to adapt a change or to protect itself.
