The Lean, Mean (and Stressful) Work Ethic

There are numerous factors that cause stress in the workplace. One example is staffing reduction. Victims of the downsizing are faced with the stress of facing job transition, the search and adapting. Those left in the workforce now find that two or three people do what five people did ten years ago. This increased demand is a major cause of stress for them. It is estimated there are 550 million hours lost each year due to stress-related problems. This results in an annual loss in productivity at the cost of about $150 billion. Lost time takes a tremendous toll, creating even more stress.
