Living beings came into existence in the form of amino nucleic acids. Stress is tension, strain, conflict, pressure, restlessness, etc.  It is internal physical energy generated to protect us in case there is a threat to our survival instinct.  Stress in the workplace is an increasingly important issue. In the workplace, it is created an imbalanced situation for the concerned people.   Maximum employees are affected here only.
