FIGHT WORK STRESS WITH AI

The work stress It is one of the main health problems in the workplace and the proper functioning of entities. Stress can lead to dysfunctional and unusual behaviors at work and contribute to poor physical and mental health. 

If we encounter a higher level of stress, we are more likely to get sick, be less productive, and even have less job security. This in turn has an impact on the entity in which the worker carries out his activity, since he will have a lower prospect of success in a competitive market. Therefore, optimal practices to manage stress should be promoted:

• Prevent the appearance of stress
• If you suffer from stress: prevent it from harming the health and proper functioning of the entity in which you work.

 

Causes

• Poor work organization
• Poor work-life balance
• Insufficient promotion
• Excess demands and pressures
• Bad communication

Effects of stress

• You are not able to relax or concentrate
• You feel tired, depressed and restless
• Difficulty sleeping, thinking logically, and making decisions
• You enjoy your work less and less

However, like many other psychological disorders, stress is invisible to the naked eye (until now), making diagnosis and social stigma difficult. Most people tend to fall into a state of invisible silence.

Thanks to a stress visualization experience created by the insurance company Cigna, the ability to visualize stress levels was analyzed so that we realized how difficult it is to measure negative emotions and burnout in relation to an individual's work. Binah.ai presented his own solution: artificial intelligence.
