Reducing Work-Related Stress

For the Unit VI Reflection Paper, you will begin by completing the self-assessment located here. This is the same self-assessment

that was included within the Unit I Non-Graded Learning Activity.

From this self-assessment, develop a stress mitigation plan for yourself. What lessons learned from your own stress

evaluation can you apply to current workplace practices? Include some effective emotional and physical coping

mechanisms that you believe would work in this particular situation in your stress mitigation plan. Additionally, think of a time

in your workplace where diversity or ethics were in the spotlight. Was this more or less stressful for you and the

organization?

Your reflection paper should be a minimum of two pages in length. Use your textbook and at least one outside resource to

support your reflection paper. All sources, including the textbook, must be cited and referenced according to APA standards.
