The latest findings by the Economic and Social Research Institute showed that in a five-year period between 2010 and 2015, the percentage of the workforce experiencing stress had more than doubled in Ireland.
These findings will come as no surprise to many of you, not only because you are most likely experiencing that increased stress yourself, but because our guest has been talking about this steady climb towards critical stress levels for some time.
