Stress, Illness, and the Workplace

“Stress is linked to the six leading causes of death, which include heart disease, cancer, and suicide.  And the cost is high.  According to the American Institute of Stress, in Yonkers, nearly one million employees miss work each day because of workplace stress.  The annual tab for all those lost hours due to absenteeism, reduced productivity, turnover, and medical, legal, and insurance costs comes to #300 billion or $7,500 per worker….

“Ailments such as depression, fatigue, backaches, headaches, and stomach maladies cost employers more than $180 billion annually in lost productivity.”
