Are Moroccan executives increasingly stressed? The latest survey by workspace provider Regus shows that Moroccan employees are increasingly stressed.
Conducted with 16,000 professionals worldwide, the survey shows that well over half of Moroccan employees (63%) have seen their stress levels increase in recent years.
Several national factors such as job insecurity, access to healthcare, pollution, drought, traffic jams, and the continued instability of the global economy are said to have fueled this growing pressure.
Among the stress triggers are, first and foremost, work (69%), clients (49%) and personal finances (36%). Similarly, 73% of those surveyed say that flexible work reduces stress and is beneficial to family life.
SMEs are much more concerned by the scourge
According to 38% of those surveyed, flexible work is also less expensive than fixed on-site solutions, and 84% say it improves productivity. It would seem that helping staff de-stress is also very profitable.
Generally, employees of small businesses are more likely to be stressed by clients (42%) than employees of large businesses (27%), but they are less disturbed by management (20%) than their counterparts in large businesses (40%).
According to those responsible for the survey, stress levels continue to rise worldwide, with employees increasingly close to burnout. In the short term, this translates into the loss of valuable employees and a decrease in productivity, with staff suffering from stress-related health problems (insomnia, fatigue, etc.).
