Employee stress remains at a record high, according to the State of the Global Workplace Report 2023 by analytics company, Gallup. While stress and burnout have been increasing steadily for a decade, the pandemic caused a significant spike.
The fallout of stress includes physical and mental health issues and stress is also partly fuelling the trend of quiet quitting. A term that emerged online in 2022, it describes the workplace phenomenon of doing the bare minimum to get by in a job.
The report found that more than half of global employees (59%) are quiet quitting, while 51% want to change jobs or are actively seeking new employment. For both groups, a major factor is the desire for improved well-being.
Despite more emphasis on employee wellness programmes, rising workplace stress indicates that more needs to be done.
