An increasing phenomenon.

Not that the precariousness of work is a new element of our century, but threatening unemployment made cling to its work, even under not very satisfactory conditions. Flexibility is more and more often required on behalf of the employee who must adapt at intervals in teeth of saw. Thus, of the weights, a task stopped by unforeseen… are elements being able to support the stress.
The definition of the stress remains rather fuzzy and subjective, sometimes very negative, sometimes more moderate. The stress often comes from a shift between the requirements of work to be achieved and the resources (time, good health, material comfort) the employee has. When the requirements are too heavy, one becomes more receptive with the stress.

Manifestations of the stress.

A blow of stress can generate physical symptoms, like a reddening of the face, an acceleration of the heart, a higher sugar rate in blood.
A chronic stress can involve:
• a raised tension,
• an increased risk of diabetes,
• an embrittlement of the muscles and tendons,
• sleep disorders,
• pains…

The company doctors try to determine the signs of an important stress at the employees to avoid a crisis or a real depression. The repeated absences or delays, aggressiveness, the variations of weight, the evils of belly, a ball with the throat can constitute alarm bells as many.

Within its work initially: by asking an additional time, a more team, while discussing with his/her collaborators, by consulting the company doctor… Or outside its professional universe: by regularly making sport to evacuate the tension, or by finding a comfort near its close relations. There are no miracle solutions, it is with each one to know to pose its limits.
