Think of a stressor in your life – describe the factor or situation and think about how it can be reduced. Indicate if the steps within the plan; will all steps be addressed by you alone or would help a co-workers, management or your organization help you? Consider the larger picture of stress management in the workplace. How important is it that organizations help employees manage stress? Is it incumbent upon an employer to help its personnel to deal with stressors that may or may not be related to the workplace itself?

As a friendly reminder, I require that you use references when completing the portfolio assignments. Also, the assignment specifies that there is a minimum of (1) page but no more than (2) page requirement. Any filler (assignment instructions or references don’t count as part of the (1) or (2) page requirement). When completing these assignments you should support your theory with sources to back up what you are trying to convey when answering the assignment question(s).
