Research Notes on Managing Job Stress
Job stress comes in many different forms and affects your body in various ways.1 Stress in the workplace has a negative impact on employees and employers as it creates emotional, financial and safety issues, thus it is important that it is managed well.2 Because stress at work is so common, finding a low-stress job may be difficult or impossible for many people so it is best to adopt effective strategies that would reduce stress at work.3
Fast Facts:
