Work-related stress affects entire organizations and should be taken seriously by employers. Many jobs are demanding, now more than ever. Many people find it hard to “turn off” when they leave work for the day. After all, technology has made it so there is really no way to get away from work.
Studies are finding that work-related stress is one of the most commonly compensated injuries in other countries.
