Other stresses for workers revealed included: unreasonable workloads, annoying colleagues, poor work-life balance, a job that is not a chosen career, lack of opportunity for development, managers and fear of being fired or being made redundant.<\/p>\n
Over 80% of all American\u2019s surveyed also cited that they were stressed by at least one factor at work, this was down from 83% from the previous year (2014).<\/p>\n
Wendy Cullen, Vice President of Employer Development for Everest College, said:<\/p>\n
“I don’t think you can ever eliminate all the factors that cause workplace anxiety, but as individuals we can definitely create a plan of action to improve our\u00a0 careers and change our lives<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
“Work occupies a large portion of our lives, so keeping workplace stress in check is an absolute necessity in maintaining overall wellness,<\/i>” Cullen said. “Having a stable, satisfying career with good pay and plenty of job security is paramount for \u00a0any worker, which is why education and training are more important than ever<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
The study also discovered that employee\u2019s salary and education status played a significant part in determining the stressors. Low pay is a worry amongst those who have a household income of less than \u00a333,000 and those with less than a\u00a0 college education. Employees who earn more and have a minimum college education are most likely to name an unreasonable workload and poor work life balance as their main cause of stress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
