For Stressed People Work Could Be Mater of Life or Death

One of the major problems for working people is stress and there are more and more instances of people remaining absent from their workplace owing to stress related ailments. A research team led by M.F. Anderson from Copenhagen arrived at this conclusion after prolonged work. In fact stress at workplace is on the rise consistently though it may not be equally dangerous for all. But for many working persons the work is a matter of life or death for them. The importance of the dictum can be fathomed from the fact that we always tie our identity with our work. Strangest part of it is that such link of identity and work is considered essential by many in the society. According to Anderson, simple advice will not work for those suffering from stress. ‘Job identity is extremely important to maintaining our general identity, self- image and sense of worth, and it are necessary to use our identity to be able to perform our tasks at work. This is why today stress poses an existential threat to us" she says.
