According to the American Institute of Stress (AIS), job stress is
far and away the primary source of stress for American adults. The
relationship between job stress and heart attacks, hypertension,
and other disorders is well understood. Further, the cost of job
stress in the United States is estimated to be over $300 billion
due to outcomes such as accidents, turnover, and lost productivity.
Perhaps the most consistent findings connecting job stress to
health outcomes confirm that employees who perceive a high level of
job demands without the appropriate control over job demands are at
an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. In Brazil, the loss
is estimated at 3.5% of the gross domestic product per year.
Occupational diseases are related to the activities performed by
workers and to working conditions and can trigger new or worsen
already existing symptoms. Proper diagnosis and relevant
information are essential for managers and workers to become aware
of stressors and to take efficient measures to manage stress.
Although quality of life is the responsibility of every individual,
companies will definitely be able to benefit from the
implementation of preventive actions, thus avoiding to pay a high
price as a result of absenteeism, sick leaves, and drops in
productivity and low work quality. This book is designed to be an
additional tool to provide information and to suggest ways to deal
with pressures and work demands, because stress levels are still on
the rise. We believe that through information – and here you will
be able to find the experience and opinions of recognized
professionals in this area – workers will be able to live better
and more balanced lives.
