Module 5: Journal – Addressing Stress of an Employee
February 11, 2024
Professor Christopher Davis
Scenario 1
You have been a supervisor for a few years, and you notice that one of your officers has been showing up for work more exhausted than usual and just on time or occasionally a little late. During his shift, he appears to be avoiding his peers. His fuse has been short, and a few arrests have included more aggression than normal, although not enough for a complaint. This officer, who normally produces a good report, has had difficulty writing his reports and has been omitting details, which has resulted in typing a few reports twice to obtain your approval. You know that this officer has a history of being a good officer, but clearly something is bothering him. You talk to him, and he admits that he is under a great deal of stress and is having difficulty keeping his work–life balance in check.
Reducing stress for employees is essential for maintaining productivity, well-being, and overall job satisfaction. To sum up the article. “Stress Management Strategies for Correctional Officers”
, Creating a supportive workplace environment involves implementing resources and fostering habits that reduce stress for employees. This includes offering flexible work arrangements and access to mental health resources like Employee Assistance Programs and counseling services. Providing wellness programs, stress management workshops, and encouraging regular breaks can help employees maintain physical and mental well-being. Supportive leadership, clear expectations, and promoting work-life balance contribute to a positive work culture where employees feel valued and supported. By prioritizing these initiatives, employers can cultivate a healthier, more productive workforce. Management can diminish employees' reluctance to seek assistance for stress by fostering an open culture of support and trust. This involves promoting mental health awareness, providing
confidential resources like Employee Assistance Programs, and leading by example in prioritizing mental well-being. Regular check-ins, trainings on stress management and emotional
intelligence, and offering flexibility in work arrangements that encourage employees to seek assistance without fear of judgment. Recognizing and celebrating efforts to prioritize mental health within the organization reinforces a supportive environment where employees feel empowered to address their stressors openly.

The manager of the Marketing Department in Hilton Group noted that in recent years, absenteeism has been steadily increasing, as has staff turnover. There have been instances of dysfunctional behavior such as the unauthorized sale of customer lists. Marketing Department employees who are directly involved with promotion campaigns are offered bonuses on the basis of the sales that are generated from their specific campaigns. This scheme has not been well-received by staff, since they feel that the sales generated from marketing campaigns are not a true measure of the value of the campaigns. They argue that the sales are dependent on many other factors outside the control of the Marketing Department and typically, bonuses payments are rarely paid to the Marketing employees. They feel that this is unfair, since many of the other departments receive regular bonuses. Marketing Department employees are also not satisfied with the opportunities for training and advancement, compared to other…

Fran Jefferson supervised the Training Department of Metro Bank. One of her star employees, Judy Martin, surprised Fran one day with a job posting application. Judy wanted to transfer to another department where the employees made more money (in higher evaluated jobs) and supposedly did less work. In the ensuing discusion, Fran leanred that Judy was very unhappy with the merit increase she had recently received. Judy believed she could earn more money in the open position, which was three grades higher that the position she currently occupied.
Judy now functioned more as an administrative assisstant than as the departmental secretary (the position for which she had been hired).

Fran did not want to lose Judy.
