Chapter 39 in From Stress to Wellbeing Volume 2, 2013, pp 280-284 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Despite the many initiatives taken to invest in the health and well-being of employees, workplace data still record the fact that 420 000 employees in Britain in 2006 believed that they were experiencing stress, depression or anxiety at work at levels that were making them ill [1]. If workplace health and safety data indicate that the most ‘widespread workplace hazard is stress’ [2], then what are the costs to employees, organizations and society?
