Stress and coping methods
Only 25% of the surveyed individuals do not experience stress in the workplace. The rest often feel overwhelmed by commitments and tasks or experience anxiety and irritation.
Data from the MultiSport Index show that most people actively cope with stress—through recreational or social activities, physical movement, and time spent outdoors or passive rest. Those who do nothing are more of an exception.
