Virginia Beach, VA - How much is an over stressed employee costing you? A study by the Princeton, NJ, firm of Foster Higgins & Co. indicated that corporate health benefits cost the average company 45 percent of its after-tax profits. The Maslach Burnout Inventory shares the following warning signs of burn out: overworked, overwhelmed, fed up, catching too many colds, becoming cynical about workÖhandling only the bare essentials. With research implicating stress in 60 percent to 90 percent of medical problems, companies cannot afford to ignore the huge health-care expense employee stress creates. Corporations understand that in today’s competitive market, keeping your best employees is better than hiring the average workers. Now more than ever, employers must find strategies to defeat stress related burnout. How can employers and employees fight back, keep The American Dream, regain control and balance the superhuman demands of their work life?
