Stress IS NEEDED in organisations. The challenge is to get the stress
in the right places and to the right levels. However, you have a legal obligation to monitor and manage stress in your organisation.

If there is little or no stress in an organisation, people will be in a 'comfort zone' and
be reluctant to change or strive to be excellent. The danger here is that the staff and the organisation stagnates.
If there is the right amount of stress, staff feel energised to reach and exceed agreed targets
and challenges. The work rate is fast and sustainable.
Stress can be ultimately intolerable in cases such as:
increasing backlog of work
targets to achieve that are not controllable
lack of recognition for exceptional performance
conflicts of measures/targets
lack of knowledge on how to fulfil the job requirements
behavioural challenges with other key stakeholders
targets and measures change
targets are too top level or too detailed
Measures used are performance results rather than enablers
This is a fascinating area to review because it can transform performance
and change the stress levels to the right balance
