ANALYSIS OF STRESS IN HIT ŠENTILJ COMPANY AND PREVENTION PROGRAMME

Stres je vpliv, ki smo mu podvrženi vsi. Določena količina stresa je koristna in nas spodbuja k večji učinkovitosti, preveč stresa pa deluje prav nasprotno. Stres ljudi spodbuja in motivira. Manjše stresne dogodke sprejemamo kot nekaj vsakdanjega, kot nekaj zaradi česar je življenje zanimivo. Če je teh dogodkov preveč, se pokažejo kot motnja v zdravju — nespečnost, napetost, glavobol, itd. ter druge bolezni povezane z stresom. Danes je stres dejavnik, ki načne naše zdravje, in če nimamo ustreznih strategij za njegovo upravljanje, lahko uniči vse naše predhodne dosežke. V sodobnem poslovnem svetu so najbolj uspešni tisti, ki imajo dobre ideje in jih tudi učinkovito uresničijo. To so tisti, ki znajo svoje potenciale čim bolj izkoristiti, navdušiti in prepričati druge. Stres na delovnem mestu pa postaja čedalje večja težava tako za posameznika kot za organizacijo. Stres povzroča neskladnost med nami in našim delom, nasprotujočimi zahtevami med našimi vlogami na delovnem mestu in zunaj njega ter neustrezna stopnja nadzora nad delom in življenjem. Zavedati se moramo, da na določene dejavnike v podjetju - neustrezna organizacija dela, slaba plača, slaba komunikacija med zaposlenimi in z nadrejenimi, nekorektno poslovanje s strankami, večizmensko delo po dvanajst ur in več, nenagrajevanje, poseganje podjetja v zasebno sfero, preobremenjenost z delom ali preveč enostavno delo - nimamo vpliva. Stres lahko ima kratkoročni ali dolgoročni odziv. Posamezniki in njihovi delodajalci naj bi kratkoročne simptome jemali resno, pri čemer je treba upoštevati dolgoročne posledice, ne le za posameznika temveč tudi za organizacijo. Stres učinkuje na večino organov in vpliva na najrazličnejša dogajanja v telesu. Telo se na stres odzove tako, da v krvni obtok sprosti hormone. Hormoni lahko povišajo krvni pritisk, utrip srca in frekvenco dihanja. Povečajo se zenice. Takšna oblika odziva se lahko nadaljuje še 24 ur do 48 ur po stresu. Različni dejavniki vplivajo na stres in tako tudi poznamo več različnih vrst stresa. Razlikujemo pozitiven in negativen stres, naravni in umetni stres, eksogeni in endogeni ter akutni in kronični stres. Pri odpravi stresnih posledic je pot do uspeha le ena, in sicer je to sprememba načina in stila življenja. Spremeniti moramo sebe. Za dosego cilja moramo pogledati v svojo notranjost, poiskati svoj notranji mir in prehoditi določeno pot v samega sebe. Osnovna zahteva je pozitivno mišljenje.We all experience stress in our lives. Although a certain amount of stress is useful and can serve as a good motivator to a greater efficiency, too much stress can have an opposite effect. Stress stimulates and motivates people. A certain level of stress in our daily life makes our lives exciting. However, severe stress events or too much stress can result in health problems and cause insomnia, tension, headaches, and other stress-related diseases. Today, stress is a factor that can seriously affect our health and ruin all our past achievements if we have no proper strategies for its management. In the modern business world, individuals with good ideas, who are able to implement efficiently them, count as successful. They know how to use their full potential and how to persuade and fill others with enthusiasm. Yet, the level of stress at the working place has become an increasing problem for individuals as well as their employers. Stress causes a discrepancy between our abilities and work requirements, between the opposing demands and the roles we play at work or in our daily livesit often results in the incapability to manage our work and life successfully. We have to be aware of the fact that our influence on certain factors like inadequate work management, low payment, bad communication between employees and their superiors, incorrect customer treatment, shift work exceeding 12 hours, lack of recompensation, interference between work and private lives, work overload or a routine job is not always possible. Stress can have short- or long-term consequences. Individuals and their employers should manage the short-term consequences immediately and take the long-term consequences under serious consideration, as they may affect not only the individual, but the organisation as a whole as well. Stress affects most of the internal organs and disturbs various natural processes. The body\u27s reaction to stress is best seen as an increased level of hormones in the blood. These hormones can raise the blood pressure, pulse and breathing frequency. Eye pupils expand. Such reactions can be noticeable for 24 up to 48 hours after the stress event. As various factors can have an impact on stress, we discern between several types of stress: positive (eustress) and negative (distress) as well as natural and artificial stress, exogenous and endogenous as well as acute and chronic stress. There is only one way to cope with the consequences of stress successfully - a profound change in one’s lifestyle. We have to change ourselves first. To reach this goal, we must find a path to our inner peace and be able to contemplate upon our way of life. First of all, we have to learn to think positive
