Key strategies include cognitive-behavioral techniques, time management, mindfulness practices, and organizational support systems. By examining these approaches, this paper highlights effective methods for reducing stress and enhancing overall employee well-being. The study provides practical recommendations for organizations to incorporate into their employee wellness programs to promote a healthier, more productive work environment.
