Managing Stress, Improving Health
Synopsis:
According to a study done by tech company Kisi in 2019, Singapore ranks 32 out of 40 among cities for work-life balance. Workers here recorded some of the longest working hours for a city globally. The findings show that about 92% of Singaporeans feel pressure from work, above the study’s global average of 84%. Stress at work often impairs sleep which causes a decline in Singaporeans’ health index.
