Which work-related factors cause stress complaints to increase and reduce?
The interaction between private life and work is the most stress-inducing factor at work. The good news is that support from your private situation is a stress reliever. Our advice is therefore to engage in conversation when private life and work have a negative impact on each other. Engage in conversation both at home and at work.
Resilience plays an important role in dealing with a stressful work environment. It provides a buffer against stress.
How resilient are employees?
There is no clear decrease or increase in the proportion of resilient employees since 2019. Yet resilience is not set in stone; it is a skill you can develop. As an organisation, you should focus not only on individual-level interventions but also on group and organisational context. An organisation in which learning is encouraged and people feel safe provides a good framework for resilient employees.
