I am writing to you because I came across this research and thought it may be useful to you.
Excessive stress leads to less
productivity, low engagement and high absenteeism.
Research clearly shows that employees suffering from high stress levels have lower engagement, are less productive and have higher absentee levels than those not operating under excessive pressure, according to the website referenced below.
‘Presenteeism’ – the act of attending work when unwell and unproductive – was 50% higher for highly stressed employees with an average of 16 days per year versus around 10 days for employees claiming to have low stress.
