The stress also leads the employee of iiNet Ltd to suffer from various diseases as well which affect the satisfaction level of the employee towards the organization (Quick et al. 2012). Work related stress is considered to be usual problem towards the modern life style which affects the skills of the individual as well within the workplace. The consequences of stress also led the employee to loss the self-confidence which further led the business to lose the quality of productivity within the business. The several stress factors also led the employees to lowers the loyalty towards the business which led the corporate to increase the attrition rate of the employee within the workplace (Matteson and Ivancevich 2012). The stress factors also get influenced though several external factors which affect the workplace and led the employee to suffer from depressi on as well. The nature of the stress is also divided into two factors which like physical symptoms and behavioral symptoms. The physical symptoms lead the employee to suffer from headache, tiredness, nausea, muscle tension and changing sleeping hours. Thus, it affects the health of the individual. The behavioral symptoms also lead the individual to suffer from anxiety, inability in decision making, aggression, losing concentration and isolation which further affects the health and mental condition of the employee and thus lead the business to suffer quality of productivity within the corporate as well. The various symptoms of stress thus lead the employee to suffer from challenges and also lead the employee to suffer illness and health issue in the long-run (Sawatzky et al. 2012).

The loudness refers to the negative impact towards the employee which led the employee towards stress (Taylor 2012). The Length of the stress deals with the affect of the various stress factors that led the individual to suffer a mental illness within the workplace as a whole. The length thus refers to the production of the stressful sound which leads the employee to suffer from stress and thus led towards the depression status of the employee within the workplace as well (Sherman et al. 2012). The pitch refers to the rate of vibration of the stress factor that leads the employee to suffer a stress issue and lowers the rate of productivity of the employee within the business as a whole (Bratton and Gold 2012).

The accent is used at times at the place of stress which has its limitations towards the prominences in the market. Thus, it leads the employee towards mental illness and leads the corporate towards employee turnover as a whole within the workplace.
