The State of Work Stress in India

A recent study by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) found that 55% of Indian employees experience stress due to work pressure, long working hours, and lack of work-life balance. This stress can lead to decreased productivity, absenteeism, and turnover.

Globally, work stress affects 80% of employees, according to a survey by Gallup. The American Psychological Association (APA) reports that work-related stress costs the global economy $300 billion annually. Stress can lead to physical health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, and mental health issues, like depression.

Managing Stress at Work

So, how can we manage stress at work? Identifying the sources of stress is the first step. Common stressors include unrealistic targets, poor communication, and lack of recognition.
