Demands

Demands are:

• your workload
• work patterns
• work environment

Situation that may lead to stress

You often become overloaded and feel that you cannot cope with the amount or type of work you are asked to do.

What can be done to reduce stress

You and your manager should consider:

• the demands of your job
• workload
• job design
• work environment

You both should try to identify better ways to manage your workload, try alternative work patterns and improvements to your work environment.

The ideal situation

You are able to cope with the demands of your job and, if you are not, there is a way of communicating and addressing this situation.
