Notice early signs

Tension headaches, irritability and poor sleep can be early signs of stress.

Set boundaries

Take regular breaks, switch off notifications after work hours and protect time for rest.

Ask for help

Talk to your manager, a trusted colleague or a counsellor if stress feels unmanageable.
