Stress
is cited as the primary cause of absenteeism, staff turnover and reduced
work performance. The 21st Century is an increasingly fast
paced and demanding society that can add extra stressors to already busy
lifestyles. The ‘work-life’ balance can become distorted as a result.
Encouraging staff to identify and deal with these issues brings rewards to
both the individual and the company.
