Business research conducted by Gallup Research along with MBA institute Queens School of Business shows the shocking loss of work time in the US every year due to job related stress. Disengaged workers on average had a higher rate of absenteeism by nearly two-fifths of a percentage, nearly half times more accidents and a whopping 60% more errors committed. The American Psychological Association claims that more than half a trillion workdays are lost in the USA alone due to work related stress. Thus positive work cultures are more productive in the long run rather than those which promote cut throat competition and high pressure. Genuine attempts must be made to foster positive social connections within workplace. Empathy must be displayed. Finally there must be uninhibited communications between employees within a firm.
