What is work-related stress?
Stress is the body’s natural reaction when it perceives that the demands of a situation or task exceed its coping resources. When this reaction occurs in the work environment, we can speak of work stress, very likely when faced with a surge of tasks, lack of support regarding our duties, or overly demanding deadlines.
Remembering that stress is our body’s way of adapting to demanding situations is crucial. The problem appears when our organism is stressed too often, for too long, and too intensely due to the physical and psychological strain this entails. That is why it is important to prevent the onset of work-related stress if we want to strengthen our well-being in the workplace.
