The UK may be the centre of the world economy these days but this position is taking it’s toll on the workforce. Stress is seen as the single biggest threat to the welfare of our labour force. This concern in our health was a more worrying factor than either obesity or the increasing workloads piled on employees although the latter can have a direct link to Stress in my opinion.
It would also seem that Stress is more of a concern to staff working in the public sector than to those in the private sector.
One way of reducing stress in the workplace is to look into working part time or working on contracts. This gives you far more control over your working style.
