Stress is costing UK economy 'more than 1970s strikes’
Stress among UK workers is costing Britain's economy more than the strikes of the 1970s did, according to research conducted by Warwick University.
The rising level of employee stress is leading to 13.5m working days being taken off a year, severely damaging the economy through absenteeism and lack of productivity.
"Four in ten people on invalidity benefit are off work because of mental illness - twice as many as twenty years ago," said Dr Casey of Warwick University.
