Stress in the workplace has dramatically increased. Stressed and overworked management staff lacks the time to positively acknowledge and encourage employees. Disrespect and rudeness are major employee attitude problems. People feel ignored by their employers.
A workplace attitude survey done by Harris Interactive showed that workplace stress is way up. 63% of respondents said that job pressures interfere with their family or personal life. 60% said that the job is negatively affecting their physical and emotional well-being.
52% said that people in the workplace need help in managing anger and stress. 55% said that the company they work for offers no training on how to manage anger or stress. 35% said that their co-workers are harder to get along with due to stress.
