Workplace Stress and the Impact on Health

Workplace stress and burnout can have a significant impact on one’s health, as seen in the case of solicitor Lara Cox. Her struggle with work-related stress led to a dependency on strong painkillers, highlighting the growing concern of burnout in today’s workforce. The Wales TUC has advocated for flexible working arrangements to address these challenges and prioritize work-life balance, reflecting the increasing awareness of the detrimental effects of prolonged workplace stress.
