We want our advising team at Bank of America to be happy and healthy. How do you manage the day to day stress of being a financial advisor?

"I consider myself to be very good at handling stress. Being a goal-oriented person, I find happiness in obtaining goals and consider any necessary stresses in pursuit of a goal healthy. Outside of work, I am an active person. I train for marathons and spend a lot of time outdoors with my family. I find that these activities cleanse my mind and heal my body to prepare for a new week on the job."

"When I maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and spend as much time as possible outside of work with my children, any unnecessary work stresses are put on the back burner and often relieved immediately. I believe in a healthy work-life balance, even if that is tough in our field. Having the ability to answer a client email or phone call during off-hours while unwinding has improved our work lives."

Bank of America makes efforts and has programs aimed at supporting their employees' work/life balance and wellness. This helps their staff from burning out on the job, which prevents turnover. "Our integrated approach to wellness - Supporting all aspects of our employees' wellness - physical, emotional, and financial - is a critical component of being a great place to work. With the wide range of benefits and programs available, employees have the resources they need to be well at every stage of life and plan for the future."
