 Rising Issue of Workplace Stress Leading to Suicides Among Young Professionals

  • There's a troubling rise in suicides among young professionals globally, linked to overwhelming workplace stress, exemplified by Japan’s term "karoshi," meaning "death from overwork."

  • In 2023, 2,900 suicides in Japan were attributed to overwork, while in India, 11,486 professionals in the private sector took their lives in 2022.

  • A focus on profit and productivity leads to immense pressure on employees to meet unrealistic expectations, resulting in long hours and high stress.

  • Industries like technology and finance celebrate overwork as a sign of dedication, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even suicide.

  • The drive for constant productivity ignores the negative impact on mental health, leading to chronic stress and its serious consequences.

Way Forward

  • Companies need to evaluate their work environments and reduce excessive hours. 

  • Implementing flexible work schedules and remote work options can improve employee satisfaction

  • Research shows that happier employees are more productive. 

  • Companies should prioritize mental health initiatives and encourage regular breaks to prevent burnout.

  • Investment in employee assistance programs and making mental health professionals accessible can help address workplace stress effectively.

  • Managers should be trained to recognize burnout signs and encourage mental health check-ins, creating a supportive workplace culture

  • Move away from measuring productivity by hours worked to evaluating the quality of work. 

    • This can reduce stress and foster a healthier work environment.

  • Challenge the idea that constant busyness equals productivity

    • A balanced approach to work will benefit both employees and organizations.

  • Employees should also work on building resilience through mindfulness and social support, and seek help when needed.
