Control Stress or It Will Control Your Business

Control Stress or it Will Control Your Business
by Dale Collie

When we think about stress in the workplace, we
usually refer to ulcers or heart conditions, but
stress has a much broader impact. It is known
that stress is linked to cancer, lung ailments,
cirrhosis of the liver, immunity to common
illnesses, back problems, and many other medical
problems.

It is estimated that stress is the underlying
factor in 75 - 90% of all physician visits.

We see the effects of stress in workplace
absenteeism, accidents, health care costs, workers
comp, quality problems, productivity, litigation,
grievances, violence, customer service complaints,
resistance to change, personnel turnover, and
profits.

Workplace stress is costing your business
thousands of dollars per year. Is stress a line
item on your budget? Knowing how much you are
spending on stress is a good place to start, but
you must take responsibility for stress control
and its impact on the bottom line.
