income that will cater for our basic and varying individual needs. However, in the course
of carrying out our job functions, work-related stress can be induced as a result of
long hours at the office, heavy work-load, job insecurity and conflicts with
bosses and co-workers, tight deadlines and harassment just to mention a few.
These work-related stresses come with signs such as depression, anxiety,
sleeping difficulties, a drop in work performance, fatigue, headaches, irritability,
aggression and increased sick days.
