Employees in human resources (HR) deal with a number of stressors throughout the day, including organizing employee health benefits information, ensuring worker satisfaction, hiring new staff members and retaining talent within a company.

According to an article in Human Resource Executive Online, a recent survey revealed that keeping important employees in a business is currently the biggest source of stress for people working in HR.

A total of 72 percent of respondents reported an increase in stress levels over the past 18 months, with 32 naming talent retention as their biggest challenge.
