Over 83% of US employees report experiencing some kind of work-related stress each year. With the COVID-19 pandemic and just rounding the first anniversary of the stay-at-home orders, it’s no surprise that employees are feeling even more anxiety than usual, and it’s safe to say that this feeling carries over into their day-to-day activities.
Stressed employees, simply put, are bad for business. According to the CDC, the adverse effects of stress on workers are job performance, lower engagement with work and peers, and tense communications. But the impact of work stress extends beyond the workplace into employees’ personal lives, affecting their relationships, mental health, and physical wellbeing — placing further strain on them as they navigate their workweeks.
