Economic volatility has increased pressure on Nigerian workers with 75 per cent reporting that they are seeing more stress-related illness since the downturn, finds the latest survey from global workplace provider Regus.

But businesses can help change this trend as workers identified flexible working as critical to help ease work-related stress (84 per cent).

Stress-related illness can worsen or cause a whole series of health conditions ranging from obesity to heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems and asthma.

Economic volatility has increased pressure on Nigerian workers with 75 per cent reporting that they are seeing more stress-related illness since the downturn, finds the latest survey from global workplace provider Regus.

But businesses can help change this trend as workers identified flexible working as critical to help ease work-related stress (84 per cent).

Stress-related illness can worsen or cause a whole series of health conditions ranging from obesity to heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, depression, gastrointestinal problems and asthma.

Building on Regus research last year, which found that 48 per cent of respondents globally felt their stress levels had risen in the past year, this latest study found that almost one third (30 per cent) of Nigerian workers are actually losing sleep worrying about work.

The survey, canvassing the opinions of more than 20,000 senior executives and business owners across 95 countries, also found that in West Africa stress is causing a worrying increase in absenteeism (60%) damaging business productivity as well as worker well-being.

Other outcomes include:

22% of respondents are worried about losing their job;

29% feel less confident about the sector they work in;

36% of respondents report that their family and friends have noticed they are stressed by work

56% say that stress is damaging their co-worker’s personal relationships
