Want to avoid frustrations and stress at work? Discover the 10 pieces of business software you should NEVER use.
Stress in the workplace is a serious productivity killer, for people and businesses. People who are stressed never perform at their best. They literally can’t; stress impairs our ability to process information, think logically, and make the best decision.
This brain drain is costing US firms an estimated $500billion a year in efficiency and productivity losses.
More importantly, some workers are paying an even bigger price. An American Institute of Stress study found that 120,000 people die every year as a direct result of work-related stress.
Stress is also linked to as many as 90% of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, obesity, and heart disease.
It’s time to take back control of our workplace stress levels, minimising the impact they have on our professional and personal well-being.
And that’s exactly what this latest study from small business lending company OnDeck is all about.
