The Rise Of Workplace Stress In Singapore

Trend of Workplace Stress in Singapore

Singapore has been famously – or notoriously – known as an island city-state with high workplace stress. Maybe you drag your feet to work every day and feel that the office is a grim place to work. Maybe you do not like your job yet you stick with it because it is a means for you to put food on the table. If you are feeling stressed at work, you are not alone.

In fact, the rise of workplace stress in Singapore has been documented by Cigna, a health service company, in the 2019 Cigna 360 Well-Being Survey. Singaporeans are not only sleep deprived, they are also among the most stressed at work globally, based on the survey conducted.
