Workload Fatigue can take several forms and has has been legally recognized as a psychological workplace hazard.

What is it?

-Being constantly aware that work tasks are unending and sometimes relentless, with a continuous need to accomplish more,

-Being preoccupied with negative thoughts and worries about having made mistakes and their potential consequences,

-Facing work situations where performance is publicly evaluated while trying to meet unrealistic targets, leading to pressure from colleagues’ perceptions and the fear of appearing incompetent or unproductive,

-Struggling to cope with delivering work below preferred standards, which can be especially challenging for those with perfectionistic tendencies or a strong achievement orientation,

-Worrying about not doing enough to meet client needs, not being helpful enough, not achieving desired results or not meeting expectations,

-Having to make decisions without all the necessary information,-Adopting changes, such as new work processes or responsibilities, without feeling adequately supported, informed, or trained to implement the changes effectively,

-Feeling pressured to achieve more, with fewer resources or to cut corners to meet requirements, which can be particularly stressful when it conflicts with our personal beliefs or values, or when a lack of thoroughness is believed to increase risks of negative outcomes, and

-Experiencing a lack of control over work factors and outcomes or being compelled to perform tasks unwillingly.
