As the pandemic comes to an end, many Canadian employees are still struggling to manage work pressures and find a balance between their professional and personal lives.
A recent survey conducted by Statistics Canada in April 2023 revealed that approximately 20% of the employed population, equivalent to 4 million individuals, experienced high levels of work-related stress across the country.
The primary cause of job-related stress was found to be heavy workloads, affecting almost a quarter of employees. Additionally, around 16% of individuals reported that work-life balance contributed to their stress levels, while 12% cited emotional load as a significant factor.
The survey also revealed that individuals working in health and social care were more likely to experience high levels of stress compared to other industries, with 27.3% reporting such stress.
Healthcare workers have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in increased rates of burnout due to staffing shortages and heavy workloads.
Furthermore, public administration and professions in the professional, scientific, and technical services sectors also experienced high levels of work-related stress, with 26.6% reporting such stress.
Individuals working in finance, insurance, and real estate industries also reported significant stress levels, with 25.3% of workers feeling stressed.
In contrast, the accommodation and food services industry had the lowest proportion of workers reporting high levels of stress.
