How 57Network Helps You Tackle Work Stress Head-On

Reported by: Nurul Addina Azime

Hi readers! Quick question, when was the last time you felt truly stress-free at work? If you had to think for more than three seconds… you’re definitely not alone!

Stress shows up everywhere — in tight deadlines, back-to-back meetings, surprise requests (yes, those!), and even in the 47 tabs we pretend we’re managing just fine. According to a recent Gallup article I read, about 44% of employees worldwide report feeling stressed and the number keeps climbing.

​But here’s the exciting part: at 57Network, we believe stress doesn’t get to win. With the right support, engagement, and culture, we can tackle work stress head-on and help our team truly thrive. Curious how? Let’s dive in.

Why Engagement & Well-Being Are Our Secret Weapons

🔍 Engagement matters more than location
​
Gallup found that engaged employees are significantly less likely to feel stressed — in fact, engagement reduces stress more powerfully than where someone works (remote, hybrid, or in-office).
At 57Network, that means building a culture where people feel connected, valued, and part of something bigger than just their to-do list.

💡 Whole-person well-being = real resilience

Stress isn’t just about deadlines and tasks. It's about social connections, career fulfillment, purpose, physical health, and more.
We agree. That’s why our approach isn't “just take a day off.” We support our team in real, tangible ways: whether it’s through social events, career talks, flexibility, or simply creating space for people to connect meaningfully.​

Here’s how we translate Gallup’s advice into action at 57Network — with our own twist!

1. Well-Being Programs That Actually Help

• Flexible work arrangements? For now, we can say that 57Network is currently practicing flexible work arrangements, and here’s what it means to me as a mom:
• Being able to start work slightly later if my child has a difficult morning or needs extra care.
• Adjusting my schedule to attend important appointments like clinic visits or school matters without taking full-day leave.
• Managing my tasks based on outcomes, not strict hours, so I can balance both work responsibilities and caring for my child.

2. Build Managers Who Coach

• Our managers don’t just assign tasks, they check in weekly (yes, weekly!) to talk about priorities, challenges, and life outside work.
  
• They ask these questions: “How can I help?” and even, “Hey! are you OK outside the job too?”

3. Make Conversations Real

• During check-ins, managers help team members prioritize and navigate stressors.
  
• ​We make space for people to open up: “What’s going on at home?” “How are you feeling this week?”
  
• ​We encourage sharing together: if one person found a coping strategy that works, others can too.

4. Connect When On Site

• Even though we're fully remote, connection is still a big part of how we work. We don’t just grind behind our screens, we create space for creative collaboration, virtual team huddles, and meaningful moments together.
• ​It’s not just work, it’s a chance to recharge through real human interaction.

5. Lead by Example

• Managers and leaders at 57Network don’t preach well-being — they live it. When they take breaks, they encourage others to do the same.
• They talk openly about their own stress, their own struggles, and the ways they cope — because vulnerability builds trust.

6. Measure & Reflect

• We’re still improving how we measure performance and well-being. Besides productivity, we track workload balance, stress levels, engagement, and check-in feedback. These insights help us adjust and grow because caring for our team is key to long-term success. 
  
• ​We use regular check-ins to see who’s thriving, who’s struggling, and who needs extra support.

Real Talk: Why This Matters for 57Network

• When our team thrives, customer interactions are better, operations are smoother, and innovation happens more naturally. 
• Reducing stress isn't just a “nice thing to do” — it’s strategic. Engaged, well people deliver better results, stay longer, and make our work culture stronger. 
• At 57Network, we’re not in this alone. We’re building a shared journey: supporting each other, lifting each other up, and making work more than just a place — a source of meaning.

If you're outside 57Network but reading this: this is the kind of culture we’re building and we’d love to partner with organizations, teams, or leaders who want to bring this same energy to their own workplaces.
