Let's face it, stress is a normal part of life. However, not all stress is healthy. We live in a world impregnated with tension that can be caused by such things as health, family hardships, marital or relationship problems, financial problems and a host of other difficulties.
Many people try to discuss problems with family, friends, or coworkers, but often continue to experience tension. Stress becomes cumulative and when an employee's personal problems go unchecked, all too often the his/her work suffers.
