for months may find it helpful to have a good friend to lean on, talk to, or yell at. People

may also make use of more elaborate and formal support groups. Community centers or

churches, for example, may sponsor support groups for people who have recently gone

through a divorce, the death of a loved one, or some other tragedy.

Organizations are also beginning to realize that they should be involved in helping

employees cope with stress. One argument for this is that because the business is at

least partially responsible for stress, it should also help relieve it. Another is that stress-

related insurance claims by employees can cost the organization considerable sums of

money. Still another is that workers experiencing lower levels of detrimental stress will

be able to function more effectively. AT&T has initiated a series of seminars and work-

shops to help its employees cope with the stress they face in their jobs. The firm was

prompted to develop these seminars for all three of the reasons noted earlier.

A wellness stress program is a special part of an organization specifically created to

help deal with stress. Organizations have adopted stress management programs, health

promotion programs, and other kinds of programs for this purpose. The AT&T seminar

program noted earlier is similar to this idea, but true wellness programs are ongoing

activities that have a number of different components. They commonly include

exercise-related activities as well as classroom instruction programs dealing with smoking

cessation, weight reduction, and general stress management.

Some companies are developing their own programs or using existing programs of

this type. Johns Manville, for example, has a gym at its corporate headquarters. Other

firms negotiate discounted health club membership rates with local establishments. For

the instructional part of the program, the organization can again either sponsor its own

training or perhaps jointly sponsor seminars with a local YMCA, civic organization, or

church. Organization-based fitness programs facilitate employee exercise, a very positive

consideration, but such programs are also quite costly. Still, more and more companies

are developing fitness programs for employees. Similarly, some companies are offering

their employees periodic sabbaticals—extended breaks from work that presumably allow

people to get revitalized and reenergized. Intel and McDonald’s are among the firms

offering the benefit.

CREATIVITY IN ORGANIZATIONS



Creativity is yet another important component of individual behavior in organizations.
