What we know about stress at work


12 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? How does this affect your ability to stay on track with your wellness goals?

Samantha, Health Educator
