Moderate stress is a natural and unavoidable part of life. But high stress that’s sustained over time can lead to serious physical and mental illness.
The world health organization has said that high stress is a new health epidemic. It estimates that workplace stress costs American businesses more than $300 billion a year. Stress clearly is ruining employees, lives, and employers’ bottom lines.

- Why stress in the United States has reached crisis levels

- How employers can assess workplace stress levels
- How resilience strategies can help employees deal with unavoidable stress
