Health, Not Work, Most Common Stress

Nearly half of Americans surveyed reported that health issues were the most stressful event in the past year

A new NPR/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) poll released today that examines the role of stress in Americans’ lives finds that about half of the public (49%) reported that they had a major stressful event or experience in the past year. Nearly half (43%) reported that the most stressful experiences related to health.

More than half of those who experienced a great deal of stress in the past month say too many overall responsibilities and financial problems were contributors (54% and 53% respectively). More than a third of those with a great deal of stress say the contributors include their own health problems (38%) and health problems of family members (37%).

Occupational Health of Low-Wage Workers

Benefit Providers Help with Absences

External health benefits providers and employers can do a great deal to ensure their employees remain fit, healthy and able to work

A sickness absence policy should encompass the three Ps: preventive, proactive and provision. The most helpful absence policies are those implemented for all staff from day one of joining. The element that ismost important from day one is “preventive.”

There are a lot of tools available to employers to help with prevention, including health-awareness days, “bring-an-apple-to-work” days, employee assistance programmes (EAPs) and developing an absence policy. External health benefits providers, including insurance companies and occupational health service providers, will help with some of these, while others can be instigated by the employer.
