Chronic Stress

Recently, we did four training sessions with a government department on improving wellness. From watching the body movements of the participants, we knew that quite some staff members were probably in chronic stress. For example, among about 180 staff members, about 10% could not do cross crawl without their own knowing. They did homolateral crawl instead. Assuming there was no organic damage, such regression of the mature neuro-systems from conscious control to reflexive actions can be a sign of chronic stress.

Promoting a wellness culture and decreasing chronic stress levels among employees will naturally raise productivity and lower the number of working days lost due to sick leave. 
