Workplace Stress Linked to 8.4 Lakh Deaths Annually!

A recent report by the International Labour Organization reveals that nearly 8.4 lakh employees die every year worldwide due to excessive working hours, job insecurity, and workplace harassment. The study highlights how prolonged work pressure and unsafe work environments are significantly impacting employee well-being across industries.

According to the report, long working hours, uncontrolled job demands, threats, and harassment at workplaces are pushing employees into severe mental stress. This distress is leading to life-threatening conditions such as heart attacks and mental disorders, while in some cases, it is also resulting in suicides, underlining the urgent need for safer and healthier work environments.
