With the presidential election behind us, tensions in the workplace could be running high, regardless of political preference. Molly Sloan, a Radford University Assistant Professor of Management in the Davis College of Business and Economics, is available to speak about strategies employers can use to assist their employees through post-election anxiety and potential conflict. Sloan researches work stress, employee well-being and how relationships among work, life and stress play out over time. "Dealing with post-election stress is additionally complicated because employees are going to have varying levels of comfort or discomfort engaging in discussions or even recognitions of stress surrounding the election while at work," Sloan said. "So, organizations need to tread carefully. Employees are likely to benefit most from demand-reduction, resource-addition that makes them feel heard, understood and valued."
