"Chronic stress is the type that occurs when the body's alarm system never shuts off. Instead of returning to baseline, the nervous system stays stuck in survival mode."
"Research from Harvard shows over time, constant activation erodes focus, creativity, and overall productivity, making it essential to address chronic stress effectively."
Work stress is a prevalent challenge, with nearly 70% of employees identifying it as a major source of stress. Burnout has reached a six-year high, despite efforts to alleviate stress through wellness initiatives and schedule adjustments.
