Peace is creating value for each other.

Health care and other industries often have varying levels of demand for services. Recording data and reviewing the statistics can help predict what level of business and type of employee coverage may be needed for shifts at different times of day or at different times of year. The restaurant industry can predict the need for more staff during holidays or at peak meal hours of the day while health care needs may also increase on holidays it may be less easy to predict. Over-working staff, placing demands for long hours and little time off, can lead to health problems physically and mentally. Burnout is a word that is used to describe the mental and physical effects of chronic overwork or other stress. Teachers and workers in other service industries in addition to the health care sector can be at risk for chronic stress. Coping skills and alertness can be negatively affected and apathy and irritable mood may also be more of a problem. Strategies to identify the problem, help improve working conditions that may lead to work burnout, and help workers who are experiencing symptoms are available with a focus on workers in the health care industry: "Implementing Optimal Team-Based Care to Reduce Clinician Burnout," (Smith, et al, 2018), National Academy of Medicine , nam edu .

Stress over basic necessities and having to choose which bill to pay or whether to pay a bill or eat can make it difficult to feel relaxed or peaceful. Businesses can benefit from paying a livable wage by improved employee morale and reduced absenteeism and turnover. A happy worker is more likely to recommend their place of employment without hesitation to customers or others who then may become customers or maybe a new dedicated employee. Saving money with reduced wages may cost more in profit through unhappy customers or unhappy employees.

Having a good job for parents can mean either having adequate pay to cover childcare expenses, or even better having a place of employment that offers onsite daycare. Working parents can miss work because their child is sick or because there was a school holiday or emergency closure. Increasing diversity in the workplace for women may mean providing infant care oriented daycare facilities where it would be easy for a mother to visit her young infant for feedings instead of having to pump milk to send with the infant when dropping off baby at an offsite daycare.
