Work-related stress having major impact on output

Work-related stress today damages national output even more than the loss to national output due to strikes at the peak of industrial unrest in the 1970s, research from the University of Warwick's Institute for Employment Research shows.

Speaking at the University of Warwick's Social Science Festival, researcher Bernard Casey pointed out that at the peak of industrial unrest in the 1970s the UK lost around 12.9 million person days of output.
