Abstract
Levels of work-related stress were examined in 100 employees from the major IT companies and as a result stress management techniques and strategies were identified. The stress of employees at lower level (administrative employees, team leaders, employees) was examined in the study and the results were used to find solutions for reducing the stress level problems of employees and thereby suggestions were given to improve the productivity of the company. The companies were given suggestions to minimize the stress level by reducing heavy workload, by providing proper training to employees regarding the task they do, to provide a good working environment to employees which provides a pleasant feel to the employees, to recognize the work of employees and to reward them for the work they do which motivates the employees to work more effectively. While stress was found to be a significant problem across all working groups in the study and their experience of stress has many similarities, the stress management solutions need to be tailored to the needs of each working group.
