FINANCIAL STRESS
Stressed employees may be irritable, make mistakes, be less reliable, and bring other “financial drama” to the workplace. Businesses feel the effects by employee tardiness, high employee turn over rate, poor customer service, and the impact on the business’s public image. A Stress in America Survey is commissioned each year by the American Psychological Association (APA) to measure stress among the general public and to identify leading sources of stress. The APA reports that, in 2012, money (69%) and work (65%) are the most frequently cited causes of stress for Americans and have been since they began collecting data in 2007.
