Americans are among the most stressed out workers in the world, and ongoing debates about in-person versus remote work could be a big reason why, according to Gallup's latest report on the state of the global workforce.
More than half, 53%, of U.S. workers say they're stressed on a daily basis, and it jumps higher for women — 57%, among the highest shares in the world.
It's a notch higher than the 44% of global workers who say they're stressed every day.
When people value work so highly, it's important that organizations actively work to make sure their work environments improve their employees' lives, Harter adds.
That could become harder as hybrid and remote work become mainstays of the work experience.
