WORKPLACE STRESS

Numerous studies show job stress is a major stressor for American adults and it
has escalated progressively during the past few decades. Increased levels of job
stress (perceived as having lots of demands but little control) have been
associated with increased rates of heart attack, hypertension, and other
disorders. In New York, Los Angeles, and other large cities, the relationship
between job stress and heart attacks is so well acknowledged that any police
officer who suffers a coronary event on or off the job is assumed to have a
work-related injury and is compensated accordingly.

Stress is a highly personalized phenomenon and can vary widely even in identical
situations. One survey showed that having to complete paperwork was more
stressful for many police officers than the dangers associated with pursuing
criminals. The severity of job stress depends on the magnitude of the demands
and the individual’s sense of control or decision-making latitude in dealing
with them. Scientific studies based on this model confirm that workers who
perceive they are subjected to high demands but have little control are at
increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Empathetic management practices can encourage communication and compassion
amongst teams and create a safe environment for employees to be transparent
about their mental health and stress levels. This positive environment can
combat stress and prevent burnout.

BURNOUT IN THE WORKPLACE

Workplace stress is likely to be an issue for all professionals at some stage in
their careers. No matter your industry or experience, all professionals need to
practice managing stress for success and happiness in and out of work.

Poorly managed workplace stress can cause workers to experience burnout, a
phenomenon we’ve all become more familiar with since the coronavirus pandemic.

Workplace stress tests us all, especially in achieving a work-life balance.
According to research from Indeed, 52% of employees feel burnout, and it’s never
been more important to understand how it can impact our lives. In 2020, online
searches for “signs of burnout” increased by 24% compared to the previous year.
The good news is there are many ways employers and employees can reduce the
probability of experiencing burnout. From self-care to evolving company
cultures, the future of work doesn’t have to include burnout as commonplace.

In the age of multiple screens and constant communication, learning how to spot
the warning signs of burnout and prioritizing your mental health is essential to
a sustainable career. In this guide, we explore what burnout looks and feels
like, how to avoid it, and how to progress in your career without compromising
yourself.

We all understand burnout in the context of workplace stress—putting in longer
hours, meeting important deadlines, etc. Research by Mental Health America and
FlexJobsshows that 76% of respondents agreed that workplace stress affects their
mental health, and they have experienced burnout.

Historically, the work culture in most companies is centered around
productivity. And this is because businesses, by nature, are driven by profit,
which is achieved by operating at maximum output. This often translates to
productivity coming first, and inevitably, the needs of people coming second.

This environment is ripe for burnout because prioritizing profits and results
becomes a work culture norm. And worse, employees may be afraid to voice
concerns about their mental health because it could reflect negatively on their
performance.

A WORK CULTURE THAT NORMALIZES LONG WORKING HOURS AND NEGLECTS MENTAL HEALTH IS
MUCH MORE LIKELY TO SEE STAFF EXPERIENCE BURNOUT.




THE COST OF STRESS

Besides the toll on a person’s health, stress costs businesses (and the
economy) billions of dollars in absenteeism, decreased productivity, lower
output, employee turnover, healthcare costs. Because workplace stress is
inevitable, providing stress management tools can mitigate stress and lower its
costs to the business over time.

 * Depression and anxiety cost the global economy approximately $1 trillion in
   lost productivity.
 * An estimated 1 million workers are absent every day because of stress.
 * Job stress is estimated to cost the US industry more than $300 billion in
   losses due to absenteeism, diminished productivity, and accidents.
 * Over 5 work hours are lost weekly to employees thinking about their
   stressors.
 * Work-related stress costs the United States $190 billion in annual healthcare
   costs.
