Mainstream research consistently shows that stress and anxiety directly impact workplace performance:

• Harvard Business Review reports that chronic stress reduces creativity, problem‑solving, and collaboration.
• The American Psychological Association links workplace stress to higher turnover, lower productivity, and increased absenteeism.
• Gallup finds that employees experiencing burnout are 63% more likely to take sick days and 2.6x more likely to seek new employment.
• The World Health Organization estimates that anxiety and depression cost the global economy hundreds of billions annually in lost productivity.

This is why our work matters. When people feel supported, emotionally regulated, and psychologically safe, organizations thrive.
