Managing Stress in the Workplace: Everyday habits to reduce stress and build resilience.

Work can be a source of purpose and connection, but it can also be one of the main causes of stress. Deadlines, long hours and constant demands can take a toll on energy and focus if we don’t have space to recover.

Some level of pressure is normal and can even help us perform better. The problem starts when it becomes constant. Over time, this can lead to fatigue, low motivation and eventually burnout.

Recognising stress at work

Everyone experiences stress differently, but some common signs include:

• Feeling tired or overwhelmed most of the time

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Becoming more irritable or withdrawn

• Changes in sleep, appetite or motivation

Small steps that make a big difference

• Take short breaks away from your screen or workspace

• Prioritise your workload and ask for help when needed

• Keep communication open with your manager or colleagues

• Make time to move, breathe and reset during the day

• Leave work at work when you can — rest helps you recharge
