Influx

There’s an interesting new study that suggests male commuters who suffer road rage brought on by tough commutes, take that stress and frustration into the workplace. Corporations will be impacted by lost productivity and damage to working relationships.

What could companies do that are located in cities with tough commutes?

1. Encourage use of public transportation- if it works and is reliable
2. Build decompression chambers in the office
3. Create employee transportation systems- like Google’s bus
4. Stress management advice- teach employees how to be less angry about their commutes
5. Yoga classes for commuters

It’s not entirely surprising that road rage makes its way into the workplace, but I am sure very few companies pause for a moment to think about it and what it could be doing to their employees.
