Money Woes Hurt More than Your Bank Account

How do you handle job stress? Sticking to a solid workflow? Meditation? A stress ball in each hand? Whichever way you choose to lessen the stress (that 80% of American workers experience), there’s another stress-relieving tactic that could make a huge difference: Relieving financial stress.

Studies have found that money woes can cost workers over 2 weeks in productivity a year! And this time can be lost even when you’re still showing up for work.

This phenomenon is called ‘presenteeism’: you’re physically present at a job, but you’re working while ill or mentally disengaged from tasks. Presenteeism can be caused by stress, worry, or other issues – which, as you can imagine, may deal a significant blow to work productivity. Money stress doesn’t just affect us at work. According to the November 2013 poll conducted by American Consumer Credit Counseling nearly 3 in 5 Americans say money is the leading cause of stress in their relationship.

So what’s the good news?
