Did you know that according to the 2023 Stress in America Survey by the APA, women reported a higher average level of stress than men (5.3 vs. 4.8 out of 10) and were more likely to rate their stress levels between an eight and 10 than men (27% vs. 21%). Women also were more likely than men to report that they could have used more emotional support than they received in the last 12 months (68% vs. 63%), and were less likely to report that they can quickly get over stress (54% vs. 65%). Now with stress leading to increased inflammatory responses and with the role chronic inflammation plays in chronic health conditions, how much more importance should be paid to reinforcing and rewarding healthy habits to reduce stress in the workplace.
