Consider these facts in regards to the physical effects of stress and anger: a Harvard Medical School study of 1,623 heart attack survivors found that when subjects got angry during emotional conflicts, their risk of subsequent heart attacks was more than double that of those who remained calm.
According to Ezine Articles, "80-90% of all doctors' visits these days are in part due to stress-related ailments; stress has been linked to anxiety, panic attacks, cancer, high blood pressure, etc. One thing for certain is that stress wrecks havoc on our immune system."
Consider also the financial effects of stress shown by the comments of Elizabeth Scott, M.S., "Roughly 7 in 10 respondents are "very stressed" about money, This is pretty significant because financial stress is linked to health problems like depression and sleep problems. With the rising cost of gas and food, the mortgage crisis, and the new bank troubles we're seeing, many Americans are feeling the crunch of financial stress."
In almost all cases the stress and anger that we feel are often carried with us when we go to work. Is it any wonder then that corporations too are feeling the effects of stress? In fact the researchers at the American Institute of Stress estimate that issues stemming from workplace stress take up at least 20 percent of a company's payroll, and over $150 billion in U.S. productivity each year.
