| dc.description.abstract | The issue of workplace stress is now beginning to receive serious widespread attention - recent studies estimate the direct costs to Canadian business and industry in excess of $20 billion per year, with parallel estimates in excess of $150 billion per year for American business and industry. It is also clear that the negative effects and costs continue to rise. Given that recognition of this problem is relatively recent, we are still in the early stages of addressing it effectively. At this point few comprehensive strategies have been either designed or implemented, and the business case to support intervention continues to be debated. For all occupational sectors, the workplace has changed radically over the past 20 years, and the rate of change has only escalated over the past decade. Not only have we had to adapt to new ways of working, but we have also undergone significant cultural shifts, as well as changes in the fundamental context of work. These changes involve a complex ballet between social, technological, demographic, political and economic factors. We are particularly concerned with high-risk workplace stress environments. Our approach is grounded in the author’s comprehensive researchbased Complex Stress Model. This model addresses occupational groups subjected to both workplace systemic stress and workplace traumatic stress. | en_US |
