Abstract

In a world of global business where time on the clock blurs with time off the clock, leaders have a practical interest in helping employees manage health-damaging stress. High stress has been linked to many health concerns such as high blood pressure, unhealthy fat distribution in the abdomen, and decreased learning and memory capability (Sapolsky, 2008). Ultimately, the long-term effects of stress decrease the productivity and efficiency of employees and limit their ability to cope with the continuing change that is a reality in business today.
