Public health concerns that stress is becoming a workplace epidemic have been confirmed by an employee research survey by Insightlink Communications, which finds that the frequency of anxiety, exhaustion, burnout, and fear of losing their jobs is reported with increasing frequency.

The survey reveals that there is a clear correlation between high stress levels in employees and increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, higher levels of disengagement, and excessive turnover.
With employee engagement levels not showing any improvement, despite the attention this topic is getting, employers really have to assess what action they are taking to address, manage, and reduce the amount of work they expect their employees to manage and the amount of stress they are feeling, according to a press release.
