A Gallup research released earlier this year confirmed what we already know: America is stressed out. Gallup’s Global Emotions Report included a survey of 151,000 adults in more than 140 countries. Researchers ranked America as the seventh most stressed out country in the world. 55 percent of adults in the United States said they felt stressed during ‘a lot of the day’ outranking the global average by 20 percent.
Stress typically occurs when you face major challenges in work or private life. Short-term stress is not harmful, but long-term stress can make you seriously ill. Persistent, long-term stress occurs when the situations and events that stress us do not disappear, but prevent the body from relaxing for weeks, months and years. It is almost always harmful because the body is not made to be in constant readiness every day for a long time.
Stress in the workplace can be due to a variety of factors, such as the organization of work, the content of the work, the individual’s opportunities to develop, the collaborative relationships, and the mental work environment in general. Thus, both physical and mental circumstances are involved, but stress can be avoided by actively responding to these circumstances and take actions.
Possessing great knowledge and awareness about stress can be of great benefit to your organization and can strengthen the work environment. It is crucial for management and colleagues to be able to capture the signals before the damage has occurred in order to maintain the healthy work environment.
