Health impacts because of work stress doesn’t just impact at the employee level — it impacts employers, too.

New research published by Vitality finds that UK workers lose nearly one day per week (43.6 days annually) through lost productivity due to various health issues - including musculoskeletal conditions, depression, and poor sleep quality. Not only this, individuals who are at risk of depression, fatigue, and burnout experience up to 151% more lost productive days 😵 In the era of the permacrisis, employee mental wellbeing and resilience have never been more important. Prioritising employee wellbeing not only mitigates immediate productivity losses but also yields long-term benefits such as greater engagement, satisfaction, and retention 💪  Source: https://lnkd.in/eeznDpUU #WorkplaceWellness #WellbeingWednesday

#HR #burnout #workplacewellness #mentalhealth #employeeengagement Burnout, a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion, has become a pervasive issue in today's fast-paced work environments. Long hours, heavy workloads, and constant pressure can contribute to this debilitating condition. The constant connectivity enabled by technology has blurred the lines between work and personal life, making it difficult for employees to disconnect and recharge. The symptoms of burnout can be both physical and psychological. If left unchecked, burnout can lead to more serious health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and even physical illness. I have seen people getting paralysed due to stress and burnout. Addressing burnout requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations can play a crucial role by implementing policies that promote work-life balance, providing adequate support and resources, and fostering a positive and inclusive work culture.Employees can also take steps to manage their stress, prioritize self-care, and set healthy boundaries. In your opinion, what is the most effective way to address burnout in the modern workplace? A. Implementing fewer work hours or fewer working days in a week. B. Offering more vacation time and flexible work arrangements. C. Prioritizing mental health resources and wellness programs

Stress and burnout have emerged as major challenges that impact employees across all levels. We all have deadlines, and ever increasing workloads that we have to manage but these challenges can often result in burnout. HR and Benefits professionals are uniquely positioned to play a vital role in supporting employees to successfully navigate stress and burnout. According to Stella Sung, Senior VP of Head of People Solutions, North Asia, "...stressed employees are more likely to experience decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover rates, leading to financial losses and reduced morale." Prolonged exposure to a stressful work environment can lead to physical health problems as well such as cardiovascular diseases, weakened immune system, and sleep disorders, as well as mental health issues like anxiety and depression. By providing a holistic wellness program that improves employees nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness, HR and Benefits Managers can begin to build a supportive work culture so that they feel safe to prioritize their self-care. ❓How do you keep your work-life balance❓ Let me know in the comments! #humanresources #humanresourcesmanagement #benefits #benefitsmanagement #worklifebalance #stressmanagement #stressrelief #burnout #burnoutprevention

Are you feeling exhausted and drained from work? You're not alone. I made a quick research and my findings were surprising. Here are some alarming global statistics that highlight the impact of work stress on employees: 72% of employees experience stress at work (American Psychological Association, 2022). 44% of employees report feeling exhausted (Gallup, 2022). 25% of employees experience chronic stress (World Health Organization, 2019). 1 in 5 employees take sick leave due to work-related stress (European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, 2019). 60% of employees report feeling overwhelmed (Deloitte, 2020). Work stress costs the global economy $300 billion annually (World Health Organization, 2019). These statistics are a wake-up call for organizations to prioritize employee well-being and take proactive steps to manage work stress. It’s important for managers to promote a culture of wellness, providing resources for stress management, and encouraging work-life balance. This can reduce the impact of work stress and create a healthier, more productive workforce. #WorkStress #EmployeeWellbeing #MentalHealth #Productivity #Wellness

Ever feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?? Then, that's stress for you – your body's way of reacting to life's challenges. I would like to emphasize the importance of addressing toxic work environments and stressful jobs. It's very encouraging to see more people recognizing the importance of a healthy work environment and actively seeking out workplaces that prioritize employee well-being. Creating a supportive and positive work culture not only benefits employees' health and happiness but also contributes to higher morale and productivity. Over time, research has increasingly shown the detrimental effects of chronic stress on various aspects of well-being. In the workplace, toxic environments and high levels of stress can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and even physical health problems like cardiovascular disease and compromised immune function. Organizations are gradually realizing that investing in employee well-being pays off in the long run, leading to lower turnover rates, higher job satisfaction, and better overall performance. Let's hope this shift keeps going, making workplaces healthier for everyone. #WorkplaceWellness #EmployeeWellbeing #HealthyWorkCulture #Stress #StressAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

Yesterday I was talking with a friend about how tired we were thanks to the weather changes that we have had these last weeks and how important it would be to take some rest... But we need to work, no chance for us to go to the beach and take some rest down on the sunbed 🙄 But, why it is so important take some breaks in our work place? Considering break times in the workplace is crucial for the health and well-being of us and our peer employees, as well as for productivity and job performance. Here are some key points about its importance: 🤸♂Physical and mental recovery: Breaks allow employees to physically and mentally recover, reducing fatigue and improving concentration and mental clarity. This can lead to greater efficiency at work and a lower incidence of errors. ⚠️Prevention of burnout: Regular breaks help prevent burnout and workplace stress, which can reduce absenteeism and improve morale and job satisfaction. 🎨Enhancement of creativity and innovation: Resting the mind can stimulate creativity and innovation by allowing employees to temporarily disconnect from their tasks and approach problems from a fresh perspective. 🍎Promotion of physical health: Taking a break to move and stretch can help prevent health problems related to sedentary behavior, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues. 👥Encouragement of cohesion and collaboration: Breaks can also encourage social interaction among employees, which can strengthen work relationships, foster collaboration, and improve the work environment. Well, we can think that considering and promoting break times in the workplace not only benefits employees individually but can also have a positive impact on productivity, health, and the overall work environment. #RashaServices #Motivation #WellBeing #GrowWithUs #WorkplaceWellness
