Why needed

People working under pressure may feel its negative impact, in a variety of forms. It may affect the ability to perform at work, with the loss of focus and clarity of thought. Or it may manifest itself as, deterioration in relationships and poor communications. It may sometimes even affect health, well-being and eventually lead to absenteeism.
