Bad managers can cause heart disease

Date: Dec 04 2008

Lesson

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.

I agree.

in our business we see this every day.e train a lot of leaders and we see, if the bosses develop the strenght of the employee and help them to catch their goals. there is a better working athmosphare in the company and the status of employee`s illness is very low.

I think, the best way for managers and leaders in a company is, to find out the balance between stretching and advance people

I guess we all agree that "serious" , doesn't necessarily mean 'harsh and disrespectful"?

There should be a law protecting employees for being humiliated and verbally abused by their bosses.
