• My feeling is that the timing of such a project is unfortunate. In the
current financial climate most of us have far greater concerns and my
impression is that stress levels are greatly elevated for reasons that are
beyond the scope of the project. Most are primarily concerned with the
potential impact on their jobs and that of their colleagues, which vastly
overshadows the daily frustrations experienced in amore settled
environment, which I understand the project was aimed at addressing.
Under these circumstances I think it is unlikely that people will want to
participate, myself included. Allocating time for such a project is also
stressful in itself!
• This is a surprisingly difficult email to answer. It seemed to me to be
looking for an answer to a question nobody asked. There are stress
causing elements to our job that are well known: VOIP, printer queues, hot
desking but these are just part of the job now. I would rather not be
involved in future meetings as to be honest I can't see any point to it and I
would rather save the time.
• Hi, I think personally it is not for me. I don’t really have any problems or
work related stress he could help me with. Yes it is frustrating if VOIP of
the printer does not work but I deal with this as the need arises, and I do
not think he can help with system problems.
• I am still interested. I found it useful. No issues really, I think I would be a
good subject.
• I wasn’t sold on any possible outcomes, it seemed very academic at the
time. However I'm willing to take part in the future, as they say “you’ve
got to be in it to win it”.
Went back to management with a revised plan, i.e. moved to AI from AR.
Responses to revised model:
• I am going to opt out of this, main reason is, I don’t always end my day in
the office and would not be completing a diary once I have got home to
my house! Thinking back the stresses were very minor, no pens or
stationary, slow systems etc…I am not a stressed person, I feel manage
my time effectively…only stresses I suffer from are a very small number of
clients…nothing that can be done about that.
• I am still happy to participate.
• Yes I am happy to take part under the proposed scheme that you have set
out.
• This seems more reasonable, as I think that XXX team have a good
working relationship and generally resolve any problems issues as they
