چکیده
Cara Williams is with the Labour and Household Surveys Analysis Divison. She can be reached at (613) 951-6972 or [email protected].

On the other side of town, a warehouse has begun using a computer-based inventory control system, and the staff are nervous about learning how to use it. These are just a few examples of sources of stress in the work environment.
