Did You Know?

High-stress employees show:

• More than double the rate of heart and cardiovascular problems (stressful workplace conditions are said to be the equivalent of smoking, being overweight, being unfit, and eating poorly)
• Significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression and demoralization
• Significantly higher rates of alcohol and prescription/over-the-counter drug abuse
• Significantly higher levels of susceptibility to a wide range of infectious diseases
• Higher incidences of back pain (up to 3 times higher)
• And higher incidences of repetitive strain injuries (up to 2.5 times higher)

Work factors linked to employee stress:

Overload and time pressures Lack of influence over day-to-day work Lack of training and/or preparation Too little or too much responsibility Ambiguity in job responsibility

Discrimination Harassment Poor communication Poor management Neglect of legal and safety obligations

The good news is that the Stress Navigator Workshop and Organization Stress Profile provide the systematic, comprehensive approach you need to reduce these factors within your organization.
