Anxiety At Work
How to quantify anxiety in the workplace and measure its impact on culture and performance
Anxiety in the workplace is at an all-time high and is rising. There has been a 67% rise in the number of employees who reported they feel anxiety at work over the past two years.
The National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) reports that 50% of all employees are preparing to leave their current jobs because companies are not addressing employees’ needs:
- Companies are not making employees feel secure in their positions and roles going forward
- Companies are not attempting to understand how working from home changed family dynamics and employee expectations
- Senior leaders are not making employees feel like they care about them and feel part of the team
As we will review during this E-Book, a sense of security, understanding, and acceptance are the Dimensions of Anxiety, which implies, according to the NACD, 50% of the workforce is planning on finding a new job in 2021 because companies are not addressing anxiety in the workplace.
