Workload - resilience

When an employee, intern or temporary worker is structurally unable to meet the demands of the work, his energy balance is disrupted. The sources of stress are then too high or too low, the employee experiences work stress. Long-term stress leads to heath problems, less efficient behavior, organizational problems and loss of productivity. A structurally disrupted workload balance thus develops into a problem for the employee and for your department. This makes the link to a shared responsibility of employees and managers for a good energy balance. As a manager, it is important that you ensure safe and healthy working conditions. This also applies to the workload. Of course, at the same time, there is a responsibility on the part of the employee to make use of the opportunities that are offered, to work on their own resilience and also to keep an eye on their own limits. The influence of you as a manager on job satisfaction and balance in the team is great. Your style of leadership, organizing the work, communicating about the work, etcetera, has a major impact. You are often the link between management and employees. You may have no influence  on a number of things that the government or the organization determines. That can sometimes make you feel helpless. What helps is that you mainly focus on what you can influence.
