Recognising and reducing work stress starts with you. How do you build up tension, and what helps you to remain resilient? Every style has its own unique stress signals and methods for regaining balance.

D-style

Stress arises when you feel a lack of control or get stuck in sluggishness. What helps? Exercise, challenges, prioritising and shifting gears quickly. Choose your battles and let go of the rest.

I-style

Becomes tense due to boredom, criticism, or feeling left out. What helps? Seek connection, plan something enjoyable (with others) and remain open about what is on your mind.

S-style

Experiences stress during sudden changes or uncertainty. What helps? Structure, support, overview, and the time to adjust gradually. Your resilience is based on mutual trust.

C-style

Becomes stressed by chaotic processes, vague expectations, or performance pressure that lacks quality. What helps? Time to focus, establish clear agreements, and complete tasks correctly.
