About stress

Physical stress also includes monotonous work, which can be one of the factors that lead to high stress in employees. Monotonous work means that workers perform the same tasks repeatedly, without significant changes. This type of work can be very boring and make workers feel demotivated and tired. Coping with physical stress depends on many factors, such as health, age, gender, and more.
