Answer 1

Childcare facilities and flexible work hours help employees manage work-related stress by allowing them to cope better with stress and to distance themselves from stressors temporarily.

Step-by-step explanation:

Providing childcare facilities and offering employees flexible work hours have multiple effects on work-related stress. They not only help employees to cope with the consequences of stress by reducing the strain between work and family demands (option A), but they also allow employees to temporarily remove themselves from the stressor by providing a better balance between work and personal life responsibilities. Therefore, the answer is D. They help employees to cope AND help employees to temporarily remove themselves from the stressor.
