The rates of daily stress, worry, sadness and anger have been on an upward trend since 2009 for American workers and this uptick is capitalized in Gallup’s 2021 report. The report found that 57% of workers reported feeling daily stress which is 8 percentage points up from the previous year. Gallup’s chief workplace scientist says this is in conflict with the younger generation’s workforce expecting workplaces to promote well-being and contribute more value than a paycheck. He stresses that company leadership will need to tackle employee well-being and work life balance with the transition to a younger workforce.
