Workers are experiencing high levels of on-the-job-stress and it’s a trend employers expect to continue.
In the Towers Watson Global Talent Management and Rewards Survey, a study of 1,605 companies globally, including 278 from the U.S., 48% of respondents indicated that employees often experience excessive pressure in their jobs, and more than half (53%) reported that their employees worked more hours than normal in the past three years. Moreover, 43% of those surveyed expect that pace to continue over the next three years.
