It likely comes as no surprise to hear that the last several years have been particularly stressful for the average worker. According to a recent survey from Gallup, U.S. and Canadian workers are among the most stressed in the world: With concerns looming over things like physical health, isolation, potential or actual job loss, and a lack of social support, 57% of U.S. and Canadian workers reported feeling stress on a daily basis, as did 43% of workers worldwide.
Businesses have made great strides in managing remote employees since the pandemic first forced a majority of the workforce to work from home. Still, Gallup’s 2021 State of the Global Workplace report indicates that daily stress felt by workers has increased to record heights amid COVID-19.
