Stress has become a constant companion, if not one of the main players in modern life, with a significant impact on individual well-being and performance in both personal and professional environments. In my master thesis I address the issue of workplace stress in a selected company and also focus on measures to reduce it. The aim of the master thesis is, precisely because of the rapidly changing environment and the new dynamics of work in companies, to investigate the field of workplace stress and to find out what are the techniques to manage and reduce it. The thesis first defines the concept of stress itself and introduces the types of stress. It then focuses on the area of workplace stress, presenting the factors, origins, causes and consequences of workplace stress. The theoretical part also presents gender differences in the experience of stress at work and also focuses on overcoming and managing stress. Through a quantitative survey carried out in the selected company X, I wanted to find out to what extent stress is present in the workplace, how individuals perceive it, whether there are gender and age differences in the experience of stress and to what extent the company is concerned about reducing stress. The results of the survey show that stress is indeed present in most workplaces and that companies should address it in a systematic and integrated way. It is important for companies to be aware of the presence of stress and to focus on appropriate measures to reduce or even prevent it.
