DESTRESS - Timely detection and early intervention on stress signals to promote organizational and individual resilience

In today’s society, stress is often unavoidable. Prolonged stress can result in (mental) health problems for an individual, and in reduced functioning of organizations. Employees, employers and occupational health professionals currently have little grip on stress. They often intervene when it is too late, treat symptoms rather than their causes, and their collaboration is suboptimal. In DESTRESS, researchers together with employees, employers, and occupational health care providers aim for proactive early detection of stress to facilitate a safe and collaborative dialogue between employers and employees and allow timely and tailored actions. Hereby, we hope to strengthen individual and organizational resilience.
