Workplace Anxiety: The Hidden Risk Threatening Your Top Talent

A tight stomach, racing heart, waves of nausea, or shaky voice—the signs of anxiety are all too familiar. A single stressful event—a missed deadline, a tense exchange with a colleague, a lost client—can sometimes derail your day. Even after the surge of adrenaline subsides, the mind often keeps spinning for hours afterward.  

When these moments become routine, they can undermine well-being, performance, and engagement. And for many, the causes of stress extend beyond the office. Amid global disruptions, feeling safe and secure is increasingly difficult. 

Whether facing financial insecurity, threats to personal identity, or navigating global uncertainty, employees bring their whole selves to work. Stress is a constant presence, often ingrained in the culture of work.
