NOT JUST WORK.

Today’s workplace is more stressful than ever before...

Due to heavy workloads, deadlines, demands from management, and the global pandemic, 94% of US workers report experiencing workplace stress. Work is ranked as one of the top three sources of stress among American adults, and over 25% of employees are at risk of burning out in the next 12 months.1

Workplace stress doesn’t end at the office. With the ability to always be “connected,” the line between work and home life is becoming increasingly blurred--not to mention the new normal of working remotely. 54% of workers report that work related stress impacts their home life, and 76% report that it affects their personal relationships. Moreover, 25% of US employees report that their mental health has declined in the last year, with the occurrence of diagnosable mental health conditions doubling due to the pandemic.2

Stress caused by today’s workplace environment impacts both individual employees and companies as a whole. Stressed employees report significant losses in productivity, strained co-worker relations, and being mentally “checked out.” Work-related stress has been shown to cause serious mental health issues for employees, resulting in absenteeism and turnover. Companies spend 75% of an employee’s annual salary to hire replacements and make up for lost productivity.
