The management team met on July 5 to discuss ways of dealing with stress in the company. The following recommendations were made:
Anti-stress training .All staff members will go on a weekend course that gives ideas and techniques for reducing feelings of stress. All staff will go on this course together, to allow employees to discuss the things that cause stress. This will also be a good opportunity for team building. Dates to be announced.
Free gym membership All employees will be able to go to a nearby gym to 'de-stress' at the end of the day. The agency will pay for this gym membership.
Work-life balance This will be a new priority. We will encourage employees to go home on time at 6p.m. We will no longer expect staff to work at home in the evenings or at weekends.

12. Recruitment Enough staff will be recruited to deal with the work that needs doing at any one time. If necessary, we will use more temporary staff.
Job evaluation All jobs in the agency will be evaluated so that people are doing jobs for which they are qualified, but not over-qualified. (Some will be promoted, and no one will lose their job as a result of this!)
Positive work environment We hope that the actions above will improve morale at the agency. We know that it's impossible to stop gossip, but we hope the gossip will be more positive in the future. There will also be a new rule: please do not interrupt colleagues when they are working, unless necessary.
