Abstract

This essay will discuss mainly the fast-paced and stressful workplace culture in Hong Kong, contributing to high levels of stress and anxiety problems, especially in young workers aged 22 to 30. Both the root causes and negative impacts of consistent workplace stress will be explored in order to convey the importance of solving this issue and investigating possible opportunities for new design solutions to help alleviate workplace stress problems. Moreover, this essay will discover the needs of local office workers, by conducting questionnaires and interviews, and obtaining a deeper understanding of the relative local workplace cultures, in order to help young employees develop better interpersonal relationships in the working environment, increase work productivity and reduce stress with the help of our new design.
