Nowadays many jobs are more stressful and the working day is longer. What are the reasons for this? What can employers do to help employees?

The ever increasing

job

competition

, the pressure of constant deadlines, the technological dependency in

jobs

and people’s expectation to thrive in the

workplace

have changed the definition of professional life and most of the

employees

require to

work

hours

each day. In

in the

market is one of the reasons why

jobs

have become

such

stressful these days.

Employers

always have options for finding new

employees

and replace someone and

this

is why someone who has already been hired has to

work

hard to save his

job

.

This

naturally has negative psychological effects on

employees

.

Employees

have to

work

for longer

hours

to meet their performance target as the invisible threat of firing is there. Increasing

competition

caused by globalisation is another reason to make the

workplace

such

stressful. Many small and medium business entities need to compete with other multinational companies and companies in developing nations where labour price is cheaper. The effect of

this

on

employees

is that they know they may be made redundant if the business they

work

for fails.

This
