Stressed employees are 4.4 percent less productive at work — versus 0.7 percent for those reporting “no stress” in the past year, according to a survey by Gordian Health Solutions.

Gordian also recently released a list of 10 common signs that employees are stressed out to help employers become aware of the problem, fleshed out by Marc Onigman on the Corporate Fitness & Wellness Today blog.

Notes Onigman:

Workplace stress is nothing new, thatʼs for sure. But with a struggling economy and the ever-increasing need to do more in less time, employees are feeling the pressure even more these days. And, realizing that thereʼs a big difference in the quality of work produced by stressed-out workers, compared with those who are simply challenged by their work (in a good way), employers are taking note of workplace stress levels.
