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.

I had no idea that knowing how to balance didn't have anything in common with abilities and experience

well, jassi, being a good manager doesn't necessarily mean to prepare coffee for your employees and get them a couch and tv in the office; of course, there should be some level of discipline, otherwise businesses will go bankrupt etc etc but the good manager knows how to balance things so that they know who the boss is but treat them like human rather than servants, after all this is where his money comes from

I agree, because I get out of a job, because I was working with a bad manager. Now I'm more healthy and happy.
