Hello michaelh54-ga,
Thank you for your question. I spent some time working on your answer,
and learned quite a bit on the topic of workplace resiliency. Below
are the results of my research, grouped into two categories,
"Articles" and "Sites/Programs". I believe this is a good selection of
the best / most representative information I could find :

Employee Stress
http://www.jobstresshelp.com/DV_jobstress.htm
"Most organizations have no idea just how much employee stress costs
them each year. A 1990 study by the Princeton, NJ, firm of Foster
Higgins & Co. indicated that corporate health benefits cost the
average company 45 percent of its after-tax profits. With research
implicating stress in 60 percent to 90 percent of medical problems,
companies cannot afford to ignore the huge health-care expense
employee stress creates."

Epidemic
http://www.fdu.edu/newspubs/magazine/99su/stress.html
"While the physical effects of this epidemic are often emphasized, the
economic consequences also are alarming. Workplace stress costs U.S.
employers an estimated $200 billion per year in absenteeism, lower
productivity, staff turnover, workers' compensation, medical insurance
and other stress-related expenses. Considering this, stress management
may be business's most important challenge of the 21st century."

HeartMath : Workplace stress crippling american workforce
http://www.heartmath.com/home/press_in_the_news/crippling_work_stress.html
" If you think your company's bottom line is immune from stress, think
again. Before September 11, workplace stress and depression were
already at an alarming high, ranking among the top three-workplace
problems for employee assistance programs. Since September 11, the Pew
Research Center found that more than half of Americans continues to
report symptoms of clinical depression and anxiety, and many remain
fearful of future terrorism.
HeartMath® LLC, experts in scientifically validated
performance-enhancing stress interventions, says that stress saps an
organization's strength. Both the FAA and U.S. Postal Service have
recruited HeartMath to restore emotional resiliency in their
workforces. "

HR Magazine, December 2000 - When Stress Won't Go Away
http://www.shrm.org/hrmagazine/articles/1200atkinson.htm
"The word for her ability to handle the multiple unavoidable stresses
of her job is resilience. Magura has it—but can other employees be
trained to develop it? The answer is yes, according to some experts on
workplace stress. Much work-related training focuses either on
eliminating specific stressful conditions from the workplace or on
alleviating stress after the fact. But another approach says that
differences in employees, such as how they cope with stress, are more
important in predicting stress than are specific job conditions. "
