Unison - Stress at Work

Stress can be caused by a number of issues including long hours and shift work, lack of control, lack of job satisfaction, insecurity, fear of violence, bullying, bad relations with other work colleagues, problems with the working environment (such as noise, over-crowding and poor facilities), low pay, boredom and isolation. Stress can cause anxiety, depression, altered appetite, headaches, backache, difficulty in sleeping, and, over time, heart disease and ulcers.
