Employees are still suffering from stress, as two-thirds of employees report having high stress levels and 29 percent of employees are too stressed at work to be effective for five or more days each year, according to a recent StressPulseSM survey by ComPsych.
"As the economy continues to sputter, organizations are still doing more with less, and that can take a toll on workers," says Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, chairman and CEO of ComPsych. "Many employees have reached a point of unprecedented burnout."
