Management-Issues: at the heart of the changing workplace

Management-Issues: at the heart of the changing workplace: "Anxious UK workers toss and turn at night"

It's not just workers in the UK that are tossing and turning at night I suspect - rather there are likely to be many people in many countries that are tossing and turning and why not? Most of the jobs that are likely to to be available for workers in most countries are are likely to go to India or China where the cost of labour is cheap and the existence of a unionised work place is an unknown.

So much for the global economy.
Overall, the survey found 11 per cent of workers polled felt bosses did not care about their welfare, one in five felt their bosses lacks training in handling employees' personal matters and more than one in five said their boss lacked the personality to do this.
Why would they care when the second most common response to the stress was to take a sickie!
