Stress in the workplace can have far-reaching consequences. Employees cite frustration, anger, poor health, and a lack of productivity as a result of dealing with stressful issues on the job. Employers report absenteeism, turnover and high medical costs due to sickness and other health issues associated with work anxiety.

In a recent Northwestern Life survey cited by the Centers for Disease Control, 40% of workers said their jobs are very or extremely stressful, and one-fourth of all employees view their jobs as the number one stressor in their lives.¹

Stress on the job can surface for many reasons: feelings of being overworked or undervalued; performance appraisals; complex projects; presentations; difficult co-workers, or demanding managers.

We can work towards developing stress management techniques to deal with stress and anxiety. You’ll identify the factors causing you stress, look for ways to resolve the problem and implement a solution. You’ll create healthier habits and learn to change the circumstances that lead to stress.

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
