ICO organizationhelps coffee producersand promotes coffee conu mpti on worldwide.ICO estimates that world production next year will reach

38、stress man ageme nt, and an swer questi ons 13-20 on the opposite page.A Less on In Stress Man ageme ntDemandqolaced on us at work can often lead to considerable worry and discomfort. There are, however, ways of protecting ourselves from the stress we face at work. We in terviewed Jane Collard, a co

39、n sulta nt in stress man ageme nt.1. In Jane Collard s opin io n, stress is beco ming an in creas in gly commorfeature of the workplace. Stress is a highly in dividual react ion, which varies con siderably from pers on to pers on, and it is difficult for someemployees to avoid it. In deed, stress is

40、 regarded by manyas part of the organizational culture of our institutions:it comes with the job. Rece nt figures in dicate that time take n off work because of stress has in creased by 500 per cent since the 1950s. Un doubtedly, cha nges in work ing con diti ons have led to greater pressure at work

41、 at all levels. With reduct ions in staffi ng, workloads for in dividual employees have in creased. In addition, many employees are left worrying about the security of their jobs.2. On the stress man ageme nt courses thatshe runs, Jane Collard tries to makethe train ees realise that stress in itself

42、 is not harmful. Every one n eeds a certa in level of stress to en able them to feel motivated and to perform effectively. Acomplete abse nee of stress can be as damag ing as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression. The difficulties occur whenthe

43、 amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular 精品文檔5in dividual. If this happe ns, the effects are very obvious and the train ees are taught to recog nize the sig ns. Stress may be expressed physically, for example through headaches and tiredness,or through emotional problem

44、s such as depression.A pers on sufferi ng from stress may also start to behave differe ntly, and can be difficult to deal with.3. While it may not always be possible to preve nt stress, there are a nu mber of ways in which it can be con trolled. The first thi ng that the train ees learnis how to man

45、 age their time effectively. This invo Ives, first of all, sett ing realistic goals for both the short and long term. Once this framework has been established, tasks are then prioritised on a daily basis. The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items shoul

46、d be left, and they should n ever hesitate to delegate. Every one is en couraged to look at ways of reducing wasted time , for example by grouping similar tasks together ordeali ng with items immedkiately.4. Jane feels that one of the most useful features of the course is that it en ables train ees

47、to deal with those dema nds or deadli nes that they regard asun reas on able. They are en couraged to avoid being defe nsive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying no . They are asked to give reasonsonly if necessary. The training helps them to foresee difficult situations

48、 or unwan ted dema nds, and they lear n how to prepare themselves men tally. Every one is en couraged not to get stuck in n egative thought patter ns, where stress can feed a circular sense of helpless ness.
