How Stressed Are You?

Maybe you're tired of 60-hour work weeks. Maybe you've been taking on the work of two people since a co-worker quit. Or maybe your company is undergoing a merger, leaving your job security in limbo. Whatever it is, you're just burned out.

Many workers say they work under a great deal of stress, and they feel burnout on the job. While office stress is common, it can also have dangerous consequences. Here are some indicators.

Low Stress:  No work environment is entirely stress-free, but you appear to be managing your tension well. Still, be sure to take time for yourself to avoid burnout.

Low-to-Moderate Stress:  The stress is beginning to catch up with you, but there is hope. Try relieving some of your tension by taking a relaxing vacation, talking to friends and family or just taking some time to yourself each day.

Moderate-to-High Stress:  You're experiencing significant stress levels, and it may be time for a change. Talk to your employer to see if any adjustments can be made in your job or work/life balance that can ease the strain.

High Stress:  High stress levels are harmful both physically and psychologically, so it's important for you to take steps to reduce your workplace tension. Vacations, lifestyle changes or seeking a new position could do the trick, but it may be wise to also speak to a professional who can pinpoint the cause of your stress and identify ways to help you relax.
