The nature of the modern-day workscape has caused an increase in stress levels amongst workers to a very unhealthy level at a time when people are also struggling with increased isolation from their peers and loved ones. When you think about it and add up all the hours spent at work, dealing with work commitments, commuting to and from work and then doing even more work at home on our laptops, tablets and smartphones, more and more of us are committing more hours to work than we ever have before which is causing a massive wedge between ourselves and everything else we have outside of work.

While a lot of people are aware that they welcome way too much stress into their lives, they’re very likely to be unaware of how having too little to no connection with others is contributing to them burning out on the job and acting like a complete dead weight on their individual work performance and the performance of their company overall.
