Consider being mindful to grow life satisfaction
Thursday January 07 2021
Summary
While up to 94 percent of workers report stress on their jobs, an American Psychological Association survey found that 36 percent of employees feel that their workplace stress levels are categorised as high.
A Ginger survey shows that 70 percent of workers feel even more stressed during Covid-19 than at any other point in their professional careers. Stress reduces employee productivity, lowers job satisfaction, increases staff turnover, and increases worker health problems.
Job stress and the commensurate negative effects leave employers scrambling for solutions.
Stress permeates our daily work lives. Arguing colleagues, senseless meetings, promotion fears, job cuts, incompetent bosses, unrealistic key performance indicators all stand out as stress-inducing employment factors.

Western Australia is closing its border to travellers from Victoria and has ordered thousands of recent arrivals to self-quarantine, after the re-emergence of locally acquired cases of COVID-19 in Melbourne.
Key points:
Only exempt travellers from Victoria will be allowed into WA
All arrivals into WA from Victoria since December 21 must self-quarantine
It means people coming from Victoria will no longer be able to enter WA from midnight on Thursday, unless they are an exempt traveller.
