Understanding work stress
What is work stress?
A continued state of work stress can lead to burnout. The human brains are hardwired to approach life one scenario at a time, however the endless to-do lists at the workplace, multitasking and overworking results in chronic work-related stress. This overwhelming nature of work can cause burnout, leaving us in a state of complete emotional exhaustion.

- Changes within the oganization
- Job insecurity
- Not having control over the outcome of a situation
