What We Know About Stress at Work


16 years ago 0 2606 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Members,

In the past week, we’ve been talking about stress management. Contrary to popular belief, stress is not a given when it comes to working. Stress at work often leads to:

-    Decrease commitment
-    Decreased productivity
-    Increase in incidence of mental health illnesses such as anxiety & depression
-    Increased incidence of absenteeism
-    Decreased recruitment & retention
-    Decreased customer satisfaction

From this list, you should conclude that learning how to cope effectively with stress in the workplace can result in a better work environment. It also makes you a better employee. If you encourage others to do the same, a better boss or coworker!
 
How does stress impact you at work?
