Stressed? Depressed? Distracted? Overwhelmed? The cognitive and emotional demands on managers have rarely been more complicated or intense. One recent global research survey of employee assistance programs found that, combined, employee anxiety, stress, and depression accounted for over 80 percent of all emotional health cases in 2014, compared with 55 percent in 2012. In the U.K. alone, a 2014 report from the chief medical officer for England estimates, the number of sick days lost to “stress, depression, and anxiety” increased by 24 percent from 2009 to 2013.

A new study finds that, despite a very high prevalence of numerous, serious risk factors and structural and environmental challenges, the rate of substance use problems is low, and comparable to the general U.S. population, for a substantial proportion of African-American/Black and Latino adults residing in a high-risk urban community. Published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Public Health, the study identifies both risk factors for substance use problems, which include homelessness and incarceration, and protective "resilience" factors that include support, education, and employment. The findings have the potential to pave the way for targeted intervention and prevention programs for communities most vulnerable to substance misuse.

It is a human tendency that we are open to feedback as long as it’s in our favor. This means that all of us like to receive compliments even if we are trying to be humble about it. After all, who doesn’t like to be flattered once in a while? But when it comes to negative feedback, we are better off without it. In our personal lives, people avoid pointing out the mistakes as it might jeopardize your personal relationship with them. When we talk about our professional lives, feedback plays a crucial role for improvement. This is why it is the manager’s job to give feedback on a regular basis, whether positive or negative. At such times, dealing with a defensive employee can get tedious.
