Bad Debt Could Keep your Employee at Home
By plrprousers | July 26, 2009
High levels of debt can have an adverse affected on an employee’s health according to debt counsellors at Debt Counselling Help in South Africa where they have many people contacting them for help.
Debt stress, like any other type of stress sees the body react with a negative response, releasing adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol. Stress causes the employee not to act normal and even changes eating paterns.
If the body stayed in this state too long, those chemicals could wreak physical havoc, increasing blood pressure and heart rate and creating memory, mood, digestion, even the immune system problems for the employee.
People with high debt levels could have much higher rates of anxiety, indigestion, migraines and depression, because they are worried contantly about their debt. They are twice as likely to have heart attacks as those with low debt. People with high debt levels suffer from sleeplessness which increases stress on the body because of tiredness that does not go away. They wake up at night and the first thing that comes to mind is ‘How am I going to repay my Debt?’. The employee will try to find solutions to his debt problems and not be able to turn around and go back to sleep.
Many people in debt are taking strain at present and the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. People are working harder and longer because they are worried about losing their jobs. Some are also taking additional jobs to make ends meet.
What is worrying is the people are stressing themselves sick and not doing anything about their debt situation, but stress all day and night. They don’t answer the phone and throw away the bills they receive in the post. This is the worst thing someone in debt can do, because the situation will not go away by itself.
