In France, a new law bans after-work e-mails. Companies in the U.K. offer “paw-ternity leave” for new pet owners. And, in Denmark, only 2 percent of workers log 50 or more hours per week.
But ask American workers how they’re doing and you’ll likely get a two-word response: Stressed out!
A report from the American Institute of Stress found that a whopping 80 percent of workers feel stress on the job and nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage their stress. But, zeroing in on that a little more, the report says 40 percent of workers reported their jobs are “very” or “extremely” stressful. A quarter said that their jobs are the No. 1 stressor in their lives.
