Employee stress claims: increasing implications for health promotion programming
Abstract:
Abstract Characterized as "the Nation's fastest growing occupational disease" by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, stress has become a major issue for corporate leaders today. With the recent rise in high cost stress claims, organizations have become interested in preventing potential stress problems. This article discusses types of stress claims, individual and occupational risks, reasons given for filing claims, efforts aimed at prevention, and future outlooks. Finally, the implications for health promotion programming in providing a multi-dimensional approach to preventing the physical, psychological and economic impact of stress, are discussed.
