APA Survey Finds US Employers Unresponsive To Employee Needs. The American Psychological Association. March 5, 2013.
Office Stress: His Vs. Hers by Lauren Weber and Sue Shellenbarger. The Wall Street Journal. March 4, 2013.
The APA Survey summary paints a very disturbing picture of the American workplace with only 51% percent of employees feeling that they are valued at work. Chronic stress at work is experienced by more than one-third. Only 36% of employees said that employers provided sufficient resources to manage stress. The impact of stress on women seems to be more severe than for men.
The Wall Street Journal article focuses particularly on stress and women in the workplace along with several case studies. It mentions a Accenture survey that found that 75% of respondents work frequently or occasionally during paid time off. It seems clear that for many the stress never quits.
