This Working Life

What is job strain and how is it impacting your health?


Listen Later

Welcome to a special series about your health at work. In Everything's fine... we'll be diving into topics that can be tricky to talk about with our bosses and colleagues, particularly when it comes to our wellbeing. When asked "how are you?" we might say "everything's fine" with a brave smile. Sound familiar? 

From physical pain to mental strain, over five episodes you'll be hearing personal stories and professional advice to help you actually feel fine at work.

In Part One we’re digging into job strain. It happens when your job demands are high and your job control is low. It can make us feel anxious, depressed and impact our physical health. So why is there still stigma around it and what’s stopping us fixing it?
