This study aims to explore stress management in the workplace among healthcare employees through a group counseling approach. Furthermore, the study also aims to identify the causes of stress and its effects on daily life while working. The study employs a qualitative method through field research. The study sample consists of five respondents who are healthcare staff from a health clinic. Sampling was done randomly. Interview results have been transcribed verbatim, and conclusions are drawn based on thematic analysis. The study findings indicate that the work-related stress of healthcare employees depends on their understanding of stress, their ability to identify the types of stress, awareness of understanding stress effects, and gaining insight into stress coping strategies. This study has implications for mental health and job performance among healthcare staff. The researcher suggests that management or human resources take proactive steps by providing exposure through various courses and appropriate training, especially related to job stress management, to cultivate productive and innovative staff.
