Abstract

Occupational stress becomes more and more a problem in Romanian organizations. As high level of stress experienced by employees is reflected in reduced work productivity and absenteeism, just to mention the most important consequences. This article reviews the definition of organizational stress and proposes a method of stress mitigation: a training program to reduce stress through dance. Our survey of 120 participates that attended such a training showed that the overall level of stress decreases and the mindset regarding stress changes from negative to positive by the end of the training for the majority of the participants.
