The national survey, which polled physicians, employees and employers across Canada, found that 82 per cent of employees who reported struggling with mental health issues and 67 per cent who reported struggling with stress symptoms said it impacts their work. More than two thirds (67 per cent) of highly engaged employees reported excellent or very good mental health, compared to less than half (35 per cent) who are not engaged. Morneau Shepell points out that workplace stress has been found to have a higher impact on engage - ment than personal stress. Nearly half (47 per cent) of employees who are not engaged reported extreme workplace stress but less than one in five (18 per cent) of employees who are not engaged reported ex- treme personal stress. Employees reported that the sources of workplace stress are due primarily to emotional or interper- sonal issues (e.g., office culture, communication, conflict).
