Stress can be caused by overwork, job insecurity, information overload, and a fast pace of life. Symptoms of stress include headaches, rapid heartbeat, poor concentration, anxiety, high blood pressure, and irritability. Too much stress leads to burnout, characterized by exhaustion of physical or emotional strength. Prolonged stress impacts job performance, health, absenteeism, and employee turnover. Companies lose millions each year to stress-related problems. Employers should implement measures like flexible work hours, job security, promotions, work from home, and stress relief activities to reduce stress and prevent burnout.
