Governing bodies in both the European Union and Canada have departments to oversee work related health issues in the area of worker or employee stress.The EU guides company managers to be on the lookout for employee related stress problems in the following areas when:
- workers’ motivation is down
- work satisfaction is low
- absenteeism is high
- turn overs are on the rise
- productivity is decreasing
- workers don’t care any more
- accidents and mistakes are on the rise
- inefficiency is rising
In Canada the government has told companies that is a boss repeatedly puts impossible deadlines on employees and over time this overwhelming stress causes a worker mental breakdown the boss will be held responsible for the care of the worker stricken.
There is a major change coming how employers can treat workers. The antiquated concept of the workplace being “run like a factory” and the workers are something to be “dealt with or eliminated” thankfully is changing.
When we treat everyone as family and support them-not demand endlessly of them, the company will develop a strong caring and productive culture.
