Our world is in a constant state of flux due to continuing progress in technologies, rapid urbanization, increasing globalization, changing work ethics and a Niagara of information. Research suggests that most individuals find the behavioral adjustment to changes and challenges very stressful, and that stress is related to heart disease, ulcers, high blood pressure, blood sugar imbalances, weakening of the immune system, impaired thinking and psychological illnesses. Furthermore, stress at work contributes to absenteeism, low level performance, decline in problem solving ability, number of accidents, and addiction cases. Sustained high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) also directly and adversely affects performance in both personal and professional roles.
