People nowadays are indulging more time in their jobs in which they do not know the consequences it may give on their well being.
Thus

 overdue duties, the public officials are summoned to give solutions to
this
 arising problem.
This
 essay will discuss how public administration can help in lowering
stress
 in
employees
 mostly involved in prolonged duty
hours
. Companies nowadays are more concerned with their status rather than the health status of their
employees
. Other requires rendering duty more than the required duty
hours
 per day.
This
 is the reason why some
employees
 are dealing with
stress
 and other health conditions. Our body is not a robot, it
also
 needs to rest in order to fully function the
next
 day.
However
, some employers abused their
employees
 by compensating them more.
As a result
, due to money matters,
employees
 usually take the challenge.
This
 happens mostly in the government companies, I myself can witness that. Government offices here in the Philippines are open only during weekdays but if the demand is higher, weekend duties are possible. During
this
 situation,
employees
 have no more time to relax or to be with their families.
Therefore
, I absolutely agree that the public administration has a big responsibility in helping to cope with
stress
 in its
employees
.
In addition
, aside from
stress
, it can
also
 contribute bad effects on our bodies. One is sleep deprivation. Some will still continue working in their houses which will, later on, lead to shortening sleep. According to a study, lack of sleep
also
 has a negative impact on our bodies. To conclude, employers must find some solutions to lessen the workload of their people,
thus
, giving them the right to spend time with themselves and their families. In conclusion,
this
 essay discussed that working past late
hours
 causes us to have
stress
 which later on contributes to our well being.
Thus
, in my ,opinion I absolutely agree with the statement that the public agencies must have alternative answers to these issues since they are
also
 linked to working long
hours
.
