More and more people are complaining about the workload they are experiencing, and this concerns you. You frequently hear from people that they are working in the evenings and on weekends and that they have a hard time to mentally detach from work.

You are increasingly confronted with emotional reactions from employees. This sometimes leads to internal conflicts, and you notice that it affects the overall work atmosphere.

With some people, you see a decline in performance. They seem less engaged and not as energetic and motivated as they used to be.

You sometimes feel powerless because you have no influence over the underlying factors of the high workload, such as a tight labor market, budget cuts, and the increased amount of work.

Yet, you also see people with tension-related issues that are not directly caused by work but do impact their functioning.
