How would you rate the stress you experience as an HR pro?

08/23/2011

HR pros are a pretty chill bunch when it comes to handling the stress that comes with the job. Two-thirds of those who completed an HR Weekly poll say dealing with work stress is either easy or manageable. But 17% say stress is so severe that it defines their lives. Here’s where the stress-meter points:
  • 56% Manageable — I  just handle occasional hassles
  • 17% Severe — Work stress defines my life
  • 16% Tough — Putting out fires is my job
  • 11% Easy — I love my job!
