Addressing Job-Related Stress During COVID-19

The coronavirus has changed a lot in our world. From the way we interact to the way we work. Many jobs have moved their employees from the office to their homes in an effort to keep everyone safe and healthy. Meetings that were once held in conference rooms are now held on conference lines and virtual meeting rooms, commutes to work are null, working from home has become the norm. Though at first, working from home can seem like a great thing for many reasons, it certainly poses its own set of challenges for both a company and its employees. Noticing the signs of job-related stress is difficult when there may be other factors at play, especially amidst a global crisis such as the coronavirus outbreak. Our South Raleigh moversshare ways to identify some of the causes of stress as well as how to recognize signs of stress to help you maintain your mental health.

Common Causes of Stress

Especially in the era of COVID-19, there are innumerable reasons, besides a frustrating work situation, that may also contribute to the stress you are experiencing. These concerns could include:

-Exposure to COVID-19 at work

-Feelings of inadequacy

-Uncertainty about the future of your workplace or employment

-Learning new ways of communicating with coworkers and administration

Recognizing Signs of Stress

Whether you are in your office or at home, the coronavirus has certainly impacted the way you work. You may be experiencing emotions like fear and anxiety because of this global pandemic, which can greatly weigh on you daily and can ultimately lead to burnout. Learning signs of job-related stress can drastically improve your well-being and the well-being of those closest to you. While navigating the changes of work through COVID-19, our South Raleigh residential movers want you to know what stress looks like and how to minimize it in your day.
