Stress Management

Reducing stress in the workplace is good for business. 

 

          41% said they “feel tense or stressed out during the workday.” –American Psychological Association

 

Stress costs businesses billions of dollars a year in turnover, lowered productivity, health care costs and sick days. The New York Times reported; “Workplace stress costs the nation more than $300 billion each year in health care and missed work.” 65% of workers said that workplace stress had caused difficulties and more than 10% described these as having major effects.

Stress can hit you from a variety of sources — work, relationships, poor self-image, loneliness, or persistent fear. Stress can also be induced from such events as the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, a change in job, or a change in lifestyle. When your body encounters stress it negatively affects virtually all systems—circulatory, immune, respiratory, digestive, nervous. Newsweek reported, “A whole new body of research shows the damage stress wreaks on the body: not just heart disease and ulcers, but loss of memory, diminished immune function, and even a particular type of obesity. 

Stress is our number one health problem. According to the American Medical Association, stress is implicated in 80% of all illness, and stress-related problems account for 90% of our visits to primary-care physicians. Left unchecked, stress is a killer. Stress affects your entire wellbeing at home, in your relationships, and at work.
