The stress-impacted employee is the source of both direct medical costs and indirect performance costs. Just take a look at these statistics.

25%-50% of U.S. workers experience job burnout from stress. Employees come to work with headaches, borderline hypertension and fatigue due to poor quality of sleep. They are considered “healthy”, even though these employees take over-the counter drugs, miss days at work, and do just enough to get by.

According to a Roper Starch survey 71% of men and 84% of women in the U.S. have used a non-prescription (over-the-counter) drug within the past six months.
