Stress

 

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) commissioned research has indicated that:

 

about half a million people experience work-related stress at a level they believe was making them ill,

up to 5 million people in the UK feel “very” or “extremely” stressed by their work

and that work-related stress costs society between £3.7 billion and £3.8 billion every year (1995/96 prices).
