On-the-Job Pressure: Reducing Stress in the Financial Aid Office
Students aren't the only ones feeling stressed on campus these days – so are those who work in the financial aid office. And the pressures these professionals face daily aren't going anywhere. Increasingly, students say they need more face time with the financial aid office, yet staff members are often trying to do more with less budget and fewer people. Add to that the consequences for not meeting the new three-year cohort default rate standard and it's no wonder many financial aid professionals are feeling overwhelmed.
Inspired by a 25-year-old California study about stress in the financial aid office, Inceptia set out to expand on the findings and take the study to a larger, nationwide group of participants. The goal: to determine if comparable sources of stress continue to affect financial aid office leadership and staff. To learn about these stressors and some simple steps you can take to relieve them, ultimately making an impact on the well-being of staff, and in turn, the students and parents the financial aid office serves, read our Stressed Out in the Financial Aid Office: Why It's Time to Ease Your Pain research brief.
