The most common cause of stress at work is...

“What is your most common cause of stress at work?” The results are in…

👉 Unrealistic workload - 26%

👉 Poor work/life balance - 37%

👉 Lack of support- 32%

👉 Conflict with colleagues - 5%

When we talk to people who are interested in finding a new role, we always take the time to get to know them properly. Success is subjective, so it’s important we understand what it means to each individual, and if they want to discuss any causes of stress in past roles.

Poor work/life balance comes up time and time again, so the results weren’t a big surprise to us. However, the fact ‘lack of support’ came in at second place is really disappointing. 🙁 Everyone deserves to be supported at work and people won’t stick around if they feel their needs will be met elsewhere. 🤎
