Sixty-two percent of North American employees report high levels of stress with extreme fatigue and feeling out of control, according to a recent survey from Chicago-based, global employee assistance program provider ComPsych. In Europe, 51% of workers feel that work-related stress is common in their workplaces, according to a 2013 European Agency for Safety and Health at Work poll conducted in 31 countries.

End-of-year holidays tend to compound that stress. American pop singer Andy Williams may have crooned it “the most wonderful time of the year” — but, for many workers, the last two months of the year can be downright painful.
“The holidays present a perfect storm of personal stressors: from increased demands upon one’s time, pressure to perform in terms of hosting,
attending parties and choosing gifts and pressure to be happy around family members, who bring their own issues into the picture,” said Dr Richard Chaifetz, ComPsych’s chief executive officer.
