Find out what you can do to stop harrassment:

When you are subjected to stressful situations for a long period of time, you run the risk of developing a burn-out. A burn-out means that you are unable to function for a long time –not only at work, but also at home. Stress can be caused by high task demands, too little autonomy at work, harassment by co-workers or supervisors, or undesirable behaviour within or outside the organisation.

Do you experience stress at work? Or do you worry that you may be headed towards a burn-out?
