Bottom Line: Uncontrolled Stress Hurts Business

Stress is a hidden cost of doing business. It quietly affects both top and bottom lines by contributing to a range of performance vulnerabilities and cost exposures. It slips by because it is a cross-silo phenomenon. In its contribution to turnover, absenteeism, presenteeism, burnout, and organizational asynchrony, stress pulls the top line down by increasing performance vulnerabilities that impair revenue generation. From health-care costs to worker’s compensation and disability, stress increases cost exposures – the bottom line; and it erodes profitability – top line minus bottom line.
