Napo Films has released a new video to raise awareness and drive attention to workplace triggers that increase the risk of work-related stress.
Stress at work accounts for a high percentage of lost workdays and a drop in productivity, and studies show that the number of people suffering from stress-related conditions is increasing. “When Stress Strikes” identifies some of the causes of stress at work. Using humor, this film illustrates the psychosocial risks in the workplace, such as excessive demands, low control, constant pressure, unacceptable behavior, lack of respect, change, bad planning and contradictory instructions, and can be used as a tool to open up discussions on some of the most difficult issues facing workers, managers and supervisors.
