Stress is a workplace crisis. In the U.S., an estimated 1 million employees are absent every day because of stress. Studies have found that more than 40% of turnover is due to stress. Physically, stress can impact the immune, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems. Stressed employees get sick more often and are more inclined to develop cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, and endocrine system issues. Mentally, stress affects memory and cognition and increases the likelihood of developing anxiety and depression. Multiple research + studies have found that incorporating a yearly wellness or team building retreat into the workplace has improved work place stress, team work, health, productivity and success by 95%.
