the effects of stress in the workplace

An article in the Sunday Times has reported that stress related problems can reduce business by up to 10%. Current estimates suggest that UK employees lose £20 billion from missed deadlines, sick pay and poor performance.

The international labour organisation estimates that the cost of stress amounts to over 10% of Britain's gross national product.

The government health and safety executive (HSE) has reported that about 5 million workers describe their job as very stressful and around half a million say they experience work related stress at levels that they believe make them ill.

Three stress related disorders - chronic pain including back, neck and shoulder pain, hypertension and headache are estimated to account for a high percentage of annual absences. Recent research claims that common back problems, repetitive strain injury (RSI) and other musculoskeletal disorders are now the primary causes of absenteeism (European Agency for Safety and Health at work) with 1-2 million working days lost every year. This condition affects 200,000 people per year and is estimated to cost industry £400 million per annum.
