This week (September 23rd through the 27th) is International Week of Happiness at Work, and it seems like an appropriate time to address the topic of stress at work. There are many causes of stress in the workplace, some could include juggling work and personal lives (20%), a lack of job security (6%), but the big hitters are people issues (28%), and workload (46%).
