"Over the past couple of decades, there has been an explosion of scientific research into how the workplace impacts our emotional health and our relationships, both at work and outside of it. The findings paint an alarming picture of how deeply work has penetrated into our lives and minds and the damage it is doing, often without us being aware of it."
"This Is Your Life on Work The number of people experiencing intense work stress in today's workplace has been at the highest levels recorded for the past five years. In a 2024 American Psychological Association poll, 43% of workers reported high stress, and 67% reported symptoms of burnout. No surprise, then, that thriving at work was also at an all-time low."
Work stress is increasingly pervasive and deeply affects emotional health, physical health, relationships, and job performance. Recent data show workplace stress at five-year highs, with 43% of workers reporting high stress and 67% reporting burnout symptoms in 2024, and thriving at work at record lows. Intense stress and burnout increase risks of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic, respiratory, mental health disorders, substance abuse, suicide, and mortality. Work-related demands also reduce efficiency and increase mistakes, and stress routinely spills over into personal and family life, causing conflict and undermining recovery and well-being.
