Work stress\u2019 severity is influenced by the magnitude of a job\u2019s demands\u00a0and\u00a0the worker\u2019s sense of control or decision-making latitude\u00a0in dealing with them. Scientific studies based on this concept confirm that workers who perceive they are subjected to high demands but have little control are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.<\/p><p>Increased levels of work stress have been\u00a0associated with increased rates of heart attack, hypertension, and other health issues. The relationship between job stress and cardiovascular health is well-known: in several large cities, police officers who experience a coronary event on or off the job are considered to have a work-related injury and are compensated accordingly.<\/p><p>Despite the strong evidence that work-related stress impacts millions of Americans and has significant health impacts, workplace stress is often considered a normal part of being an adult. Experiencing significant work stress and even burnout does not have to be the norm.\u00a0<\/p><p>Workers, managers, and business owners can all take steps to address their own workplace stress and develop a safe and empathetic workplace environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de251b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de251b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"s5\">Empathetic management practices can encourage communication and compassion amongst teams and create a safe environment for employees to be transparent about their mental health and stress levels.
