The $1 Trillion Workplace Stress Cost: Are Your Practices Killing Productivity?

The Solution to Productivity Loss and the Workplace Stress Cost

The global economy faces a $1 trillion annual cost due to work-induced anxiety, which translates to a devastating 41% loss in productivity. Furthermore, 79% of employees experience daily work-stress. This overwhelming workplace stress cost is a direct consequence of poor organizational structure.

This is a crisis of Organizational Practices, not individual failure.

Ineffective Working Practices as the Root Cause
