Office Stress Relief: Talk, Communicate Why is communication so important in the workplace? Since we're in the computer generation, I'll give you a "tech" example. Think of communicating like a updating a blog. Regularly, you have to update that blog. Why? If you don't, your subscribers and viewers are going to get bored and lose relationship with you. In order to keep someone in good terms with you, you have to regularly let them know "what's going on". The same goes with your boss. The more you let your boss know how you're doing (work), and the progress you're making, he/she will be encouraged to communicate even more with you. What if your boss barely knew you? You won't be as comfortable in the office. The more you are in "friendly terms" with someone, the more you will feel comfortable. And by feeling comfortable what happens? No stress! If you walk in everyday with a boss happy to see you, how good would you feel? Take-home Lesson? Tell your boss how work is coming along, how you're feeling and he/she will feel good around you.

Give them updates as to projects and deadlines. Fill them in. The more you talk to someone, the better you feel around them. Now for the ideal scenario...
