London - Stress is taking its toll on the health and sex lives of British workers, and employers may suffer some of the consequences, according to a survey published yesterday.

"The results find a disturbing number of the workforce feeling overstressed, undervalued and making some profound sacrifices in their personal lives to keep up with the rat race," Management Today magazine said.

The survey of 2,000 people conducted for the magazine showed that 30 per cent of the respondents felt their health was suffering because of their work, with 28 per cent saying stress was putting a damper on their sex lives.
