Stress and the Workplace 

Given our challenging economic times, it is no surprise that clients who responded to BarnesCare's recent social media survey named stress as a primary concern impacting the health and well-being of employees. Along with rising health care costs, employee stress was cited as a real occupational health issue. That's why we are dedicating this issue of BarnesCare Connection to employee stress and what you and your company can do about it. We hope you'll find this issue valuable, and as always we welcome your feedback.
