The Impact of Psychological Stress on Frontline Workers

Frontline workers are critical to an organisation's success. They are the people who serve its customers, make its intended culture and image real and do the necessary work that keeps the organisation running. When stress causes frontline workers to underperform, present a disinterested or unhappy face to customers, take time off from work or leave their jobs, the organisation suffers.

HOW IS PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS AFFECTING FRONTLINE WORKERS?

No single solution will be the remedy for all of an organisation’s stress-related problems. The key is to listen to the organisation’s frontline workers and try to understand their work and life experiences. With that data, an organisation can model policies and practices, train managers and employees and provide meaningful support. The goal is to reduce work-related stress where possible and help employees deal with it when it impacts their work, their lives and their health.

Mental health is critical to human health and wellbeing, yet mental health problems are more likely to go undiagnosed and untreated than physical health problems. With the pandemic, international conflict, increased financial stress from inflation, and concerns about food and fuel shortages, mental health is being challenged in new ways.
