Unreasonable Workload 14%

Annoying Co-Workers 11%
Work That Is Not A Chosen Career 8%
The relationship between stressand workplace injuries:
A 2015 study by Harvard Business School and
Stanford’s Graduate School of Business found
that workplace stress contributes to at least
120,000 deaths each year and $190 billion in
annual health care expenses.
Source: 2015 Stanford-Harvard Business School meta analysis of 228 studies
https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/why-your-workplace-might-be-killing-you
Highly demanding jobs increased the odds
of a physician-diagnosed illness.
Job insecurity increased the odds of
reporting poor health by 50%.
Lack of health care is the biggest stressor.
by 35%
What can employees do?
“Employeesneedto understand thatgoingto placeswherethey experiencework-
familyconflicts,longwork hours, economic insecurity, and don’t getaccess to health
insuranceis more than justsomethingthat’s inconvenient.This is somethingthat
actuallyaffectstheirwellbeingin a deepand profoundway.They ought to take these
factorsinto account as they selecttheir jobs.”
–- Jeffrey Pfeffer, Professor of organizational behavior, Stanford University
What can employers do?
“Employerswho areconcerned abouthealthcarecosts should worry alot
aboutthe work environment.At the moment, employersworry mostly about
individualdecisions – eating,exercise,smoking,drinking andthings like that –
orthey worry about broadsocialpolicy issues.A lot oftheir excessivehealth
carecosts comefrom whathappensto peopleevery day in the work
environment…thingsthat employerscouldfixif they wanted to.”
–- Jeffrey Pfeffer, Professor of organizational behavior, Stanford University
Measuring productivity,
not hours worked.
While most employers remain tied to the 40-hour workweek, some
are experimenting with alternative plans and reduced hours.
Amazon launched a pilot program in August 2016
that allows employees in some departments to
work 30-hour weeks for 75 percent of their salary
and retain full benefits.
San Diego-based Tower Paddle Boards cut its
workday from eight hours to five (employees skip
lunch). In the first year of the program, the
company’s revenue rose 42 percent.

injured workers throughout Iowa and Nebraska, helping them
recover the workers’ compensation benefits they deserve.
We hope this information about work-related stress was helpful. Workers should know that
permanent impairments caused by work-related stress may qualify them for workers’
compensation benefits.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss this topic further and address any questions you
may have about collecting workers’ compensation benefits. We take cases on a
contingency fee basis, which means we only collect a fee if we help you obtain a recovery.
