　　Workplace pressure is now a common problem to many people. It causes depression of the employees and leads to inefficient work. The solution of the problem involves the efforts of both employers and employees.

　　Intentional work, I think, is the main source of the pressure. A qualified employer should arrange the work reasonably. Assigning too much work makes the employees frustrated. My first boss is a work nut, who always demanded us to work overtime. I, as well as other employees, could not stand the stress and quitted the job. In order to improver the efficiency of work, employers should set aside enough time for employees to entertain and rest.

　　There is some other pressure, I think, which comes from the so-called office politics rather than the work itself. As organizers and governors of the workplace, employers have the responsibility to create a harmonious and amicable working environment, in which employees can coordinate smoothly and compete equally. A qualified employer should be good at inspiring employees’ competitive spirit but not jealousy. My present boss, whom I admire very much, never believed any slanderous talks and always made advisable judgment on some dissensions. He won the belief of employees and it was the belief that reduced pressure of the employees.

　　As to employees themselves, they need to adjust their mood during the work. Planning in advance is a good way to reduce the pressure coming from the piles of work. I always make a plan at the beginning of every month. In addition, harmonious relationship with work-fellows helps me forget the stress and concentrate on my work.

　　Efficient work comes from good mental and physical health. Both employers and employees should cooperate to reduce the stress in workplace. (287 words)
