              According to a New York Times article, the cost of stress to business is
      $200-$300 billion a year in absenteeism, lost productivity, turnover, and illness.

               How is it affecting YOUR Company?


  Results from the Gallup Poll (2000), “Attitudes in the American Workplace VI”

 Approximately one million employees in the US are absent daily due to stress or stress-related conditions
 78% of Americans respond that their job is stressful
 Another 74% felt stress was impacting their coworkers negatively
 In California, Workman’s Comp claims for stress have topped one billion dollars annually
 80% of workers feel stress on the job, and nearly half of those say they need help in learning how to manage stress
 Prescriptions for anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and sleep aids rose 27% between 2000 and
2002

Clearly, American business faces a major challenge. With no intervention, the losses due to stress will only cost businesses more as time goes on.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, job stress is a combination of worker characteristics and working conditions.
 
The focus of this stress management training is on individual strategies for reducing stress. Please visit the Stress Management Pg.2  for a program outline.
