Research has shown that employees are finding it difficult to be able to switch off from their jobs.

The results of a study conducted by Russam GMS interim management provider has shown that mobile technology is actually a considerable contributor to workplace stress, as people struggle to be able to shut off from their jobs.

The research involved a survey of senior executives when it comes to a range of different attitudes.

They asked the senior execs about their attitudes toward health, fitness, and leadership. Three out of every four blamed mobile technology for increasing stress levels. Among the respondents, 60 percent explained that there was an expectation from their employers to have to answer emails outside of their official working hours. One in every five respondents said that “switching off from work at home” was among the largest struggles that they faced when it came to being able to take care of their health.

Stress is among the leading contributors to health issues, if mobile technology is causing stress, that is important to know.

According to Russam GMS managing director, Ian Joseph, “Stress is one of the leading causes of health problems and absence in the workplace so it’s surprising that organizations are doing so little to recognize it or offer help to deal with it.” He also pointed out that senior execs aren’t just expected to have ambition, motivation, and business skills, nowadays. They are also expected to be physically fit and emotionally resilient in order to be able to keep up with “today’s demanding economic environment.”

Joseph added that “Companies that are failing to support and encourage their staff to be healthier and tackle stress are storing up problems for the future.”

Among the additional contributions to the stress levels that were being experienced by the respondents included increasingly demanding financial targets, the tension associated with being on call every day, 24 hours per day, and the nonstop email that “makes things relentless.” While this has existed for some time now with computers, mobile technology has made it possible for these issues to travel with workers no matter when it is or where they are.

The South Korean electronics company has revealed that its Bluetooth gadgets are becoming massively popular.

LG Electronics has now revealed some of the latest data with regards to its mobile accessories, in that it has stated that it has now managed to sell over 10 million of its Bluetooth headsets around the globe.

The electronics giant recently made the announcement about this series of mobile gadgets.

The LG “Tone” series of headsets are a type of mobile accessories that will connect wirelessly to smartphones. This allows the users to be able to use their mobile devices to listen to music, but the headsets are also equipped to allow the user to make or take a call, as well. This is a handy feature as it does not cause one use of the device to override another in an inconvenient way.

Among the unique features of these mobile accessories is the retractable neckband design of the headset.

The design of this mobile gadget extends behind the user’s head and into the ears when it is being used. However, when it is not in use, they retract in order to make them much more compact and easy to carry. This also help to prevent damage.

According to the firm, the sales of the mobile headset broke the 1 million mark about three years after the launch of the series back in 2010. That said, since that time, it has come a long way, as it took only two and a half more years to skyrocket to over 10 million sales. This represents a considerable increase in the number of purchases that are being made of this device.

LG has worked hard to improve the appeal of their smartphone headset. For instance, in order to be able to considerably enhance the sound quality of the accessory, it partnered with Harman/Kardon and JBL, the highly respected audio equipment makers. Their expertise, fused with the design produced by LG made it possible to vastly enhance the quality of sound that the headset could provide to its wearer.

These mobile accessories have specifically proven to be highly popular in the United States, where about 40 percent of the purchases are made, according to NPD Group market researchers.
