In a 2013 Harris Interactive workplace study, 83 percent of Americans polled said they are stressed at work — up more than 10 percent from last year.
The study cites poor compensation, unreasonable workload, frustration with co-workers, not working in the career area of choice, poor work-life balance, lack of career opportunities and fear of being laid off or fired as top work stressors.
All of this stress is having an impact on more than just engagement levels. According to a 2012 University College study, occupational stress can increase the risk of heart attacks, early aging and a host of other medical issues.
