• Stress is one of the most common psychological workplace issues and can be caused by a variety of factors such as workload, deadlines, and interpersonal conflicts.

• Burnout is another one and often occurs when employees feel overwhelmed and exhausted due to excessive workloads or lack of job satisfaction.

• Anxiety in the workplace can lead to feelings of fear and worry that can interfere with an employee’s ability to perform their job, to work effectively in teams, lead or to believe in their own capacity to be able to get a job done.

• Another frequently reported psychological workplace issue that can have a negative impact on an employee’s performance and the effectiveness of an entire work group or organisation – is depression. Depression can result in prolonged absences, missing deadlines and lack of team cohesion and employee’s sense of belonging.

It is important for both employees and employers to acknowledge workplace issues and take steps to address them. This can include providing employees with resources to help them manage stress, offering flexible work schedules, and creating a supportive work environment. It is also about addressing bullying and harassment and taking steps to ensure that these issues are addressed appropriately.
