Workplace stress is the silent epidemic in the modern world and, sadly, less is spoken about it. The recent death of a 26 year old woman, allegedly due to overwork and workplace stress, has stirred the concern around the mental health of job holders, which was hibernating for too long.
Increased demands, work hours, and sometimes impossible expectations-all this can easily turn work into an unrelenting companion at the workplace. Chronic workplace stress can lead to burnout, reduced productivity, as well as long-term health problems in the form of heart disease, according to various studies. Only by identifying the root causes of stress at work it is possible to manage them.
