Work hitting health of techies seriously

Hyderabad,Nov 27 (INN): About 93 per cent of techies working in various Information Technology (It) firms across the country feel that their health is being affected by work and more than half of them say It is got worse since the recession began.The main effects on their wellbeing are cIted as not enough time to exercise, according to a survey conducted on the life style of the techies.

However,a section of them strongly feel that their health is being seriously affected because their social lives have changed for the worse.An It Job Board spokesperson says that this bad news from the industry is most likely down to the fast-paced and environmental nature of the work."If employers want to keep their absenteeism down,they should create a better working environment that focuses on Its employees' health,"says It Job Board.
