Regardless of work, stress will always play a role in an individual's life.

And the effects of stress in the workplace are numerous. Stress can have both psychological and physical effects on members of the workforce. And while the specific effect may differ from one individual to another, and in particular the effect on physical health will certainly be different from one job to another, a construction worker will certainly experience different health problems than a secretary, for example physical health. Research conducted in the field of occupational health psychology has found evidence linking individuals' health and mortality to the stress encountered in the workplace; in particular, research has discovered a causal effect between work experiences and physiological responses (Macik-Frey, Quick & Nelson, 2007).

The connection is not always certain, but with new research conducted the path between burnout and cardiovascular disorders, between stress as a whole and physiological symptoms, becomes clearer not only for mental health but also for the physical well-being of employees and for the overall increase in production in organizations. It is not only the individual who benefits from burnout treatments in terms of well-being and overall job satisfaction, but the organization benefits from having a healthy life; workforce that is also happy, or at least not frustrated and dissatisfied, with their jobs and position in the organization.
