In a recent survey, it was uncovered that fear appears to be widespread in the workplace.
The survey of 1,039 workers, conducted by the job and resume website livecareer.com, found that 87% admitted that they suffer from work-related fears and that 81% admit that their fears and phobias have affected their job in negative ways.
While 25% have never sought to get help to overcome their anxieties, encouragingly 57% say that they would be comfortable talking to their manager.
That said, 80% believe having fears and phobias is something to be ashamed of.
The main “phobias” highlighted in the survey included making decisions, taking responsibility, public speaking, making a mistake, getting fired, being disliked by co-workers or a boss, or not being able to handle the workload.
