Occupational Hazards - Dealing With Stress at Work
"We all know stress affects our mental and physical wellness -- both in positive and negative ways.
Stress at work is what energizes us and stimulates our creative thinking. It is also what frustrates and exhausts us.
The reality is that bad stress levels at work are getting higher with each passing year. Studies show that there is a significant connection between unmanaged stress and rising health care costs. According to a study or 46,026 employees conducted by The HERO Group, workers with unmanaged stress had 46 percent higher medical costs than those without unmanaged stress. This study also showed that unmanaged stress was the second leading cause of rising health care costs.
Today's workplace isn't like your grandparents' -- we're connected to work as never before by cell phones, pagers, PDAs and laptops. So it is essential to learn techniques to keep us focused on our work, to keep us productive and to create enjoyment in each workday."
