Bad managers can cause heart disease

Bad managers can cause heart disease

A recent study traces a link between poor management and heart disease among employees. It has been proven that employers should reconsider their managing styles if they are to ensure that workers’ health isn’t endangered. 3 000 workers were interviewed on issues regarding adequate communication between management and staff, senior managers’ attitude towards their juniors, as well as clearly set goals and overwork. Results show that mutual respect accounts for healthier employees and healthier businesses as a whole.

While it is a fact that some people work better under pressure, excessive pressure in the work place, causes the majority to act inadequately and produce less. Experts concluded that taking precautions to ward off work-related stress will also save a business time and money. The negative effects can result in absenteeism, low productivity, employee tardiness and increased customer complaints. Therefore, companies are advised to re-train bosses in order to improve employees’ health and ensure thriving businesses.

Yes, I agree with that. I think having a nice boss is a blessing and it gives you a sense of self confidence and sort of encouragement to work harder especially if your boss is the one who appreciates your work.

Wish you all have the best bosses but I have a question here: Would you prefer your boss to be a male or female and why?

Jassi, I think managers should be moderate towards their workers, they have to be some time rude and they have to be some time motivated, that is the way they can easily run their worker.

I think if you are working with a good manager you will exhausting all of your efforts to satisfy him, however, if your boss bad you will face a difficult time which could causes something bad for you. Also, I am fully agreed with ch3rryblossom. Actually, in my view point, the good boss is who working with his employees as a team member like them and he will come out at the decisions time.
