"The emergence of a liberal, anti-hierarchical management has sought to increasingly empower employees. However, it has also played a role in stressful work environments. Certainly, modes of organisation within companies have significantly decreased the monotony of certain tasks. Whereas previously, tasks assigned to each employee were clearly defined, today, the employee faces a multitude of endless things to do. Because of high labour costs, employees are facing arduous hardships in dealing with additional responsibilities at the workplace."
