Stress is a major factor in most of our lives today. It can involve an individual's job, organization, family environment or community. 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?
Today many observers and employees are concerned about the gap between CEO salaries and average employee pay. Is it ethical for CEOs to be paid so much more than other employees? Does this practice use a valid reward distribution system? Should companies be considering ways to reduce the gap to improve the overall moral of their employees? Do you think CEO and upper management salaries are subject to ethical consideration?
