Study reveals that employers find relationships and finance more stressful than work
Domestic life is more stressful than work pressures for 68% of workers, according to research by YouGov and Croner.
The research found that financial worries (27%), relationship problems (15%) and achieving work/life balance (12%) are to blame for the most stress.
Workplace factors including workload, long hours, pay, and even a long commute were only considered the most stressful by a combined minority of 25%. The remaining 7% blame other factors or do not get stressed.
However, when quizzed further about the workplace, a heavy workload was voted as the most stressful by 24% of respondents, followed by poor working relationships (14%), working long hours (12%), and pay and benefits (12%).
