Harvard Business Review
There’s no question or debate that workplace stress levels are at critical levels and are escalating. The American Institute of Stress reveals that 80 percent of us feel stress on the job and almost half say they need help in managing that stress. The StressPulse survey by ComPsych, an Employee Assistance Program provider, shows the main causes of that stress are: 1) workload (36 percent); 2) people issues (31 percent); 3) balancing professional and personal lives (20 percent); and 4) job security (8 percent). Team dynamics are also a big deal when it comes to workplace stress, in terms of the way teams operate and how team members interact with each other.

The allegations of domestic abuse against White House staffers Rob Porter and David Sorensen may seem all too familiar to many women in this country, and HR needs to be ready to investigate if it suspects an employee is the perpetrator of domestic violence, according to Kelly Marinelli, J.D., SHRM-SCP, principal consultant with Solve HR in Boulder, Colorado.

What is it about legalized marijuana that differs — or not — from other substances, such as alcohol, which are already prohibited from use at work?
A survey by the Human Resources Professional Association released in January found that 71 percent of HR professionals believe their workplaces are not prepared to deal with the coming legalization of recreational marijuana, including issues related to impairment, usage on the premises and safety.

Today’s workforce is experiencing everything from an alarming skilled labor shortage to an increasing lack of employee engagement that concerns every business — no matter if you’re a startup or a Fortune 100 company. Gallup research shows that the average U.S. employee is not only unengaged at work, but half of U.S. employees are actively searching for a new job. This war for skilled and engaged talent can impact businesses’ bottom lines by more than $600 billion in lost productivity per year. That’s according to Rae Shanahan, Chief Strategy Officer at Businessolver.

Millennials are often referred to as being the “snowflake” generation, referring to their sensitive nature to life’s problems. However, recent research from Freedom Finance has found that in reality they really do have it tougher than both baby boomers did and generation X.
The study compared three generations across Great Britain, focusing on work life, housing, retirement and finances and has found that millennials are struggling more across all four areas. A key area where they have it tougher is their mental health, suffering more stress and job insecurity than the older generations did.
