Use This Stress Performance Curve to Determine if Your Team Is Burning Out
Most of us are experiencing high levels of stress firsthand, living through the global COVID-19 pandemic.But when stress is in the right balance, it can even be mentally healthy.
Helping employees feel happy and productive isn’t just about reducing stress, but taking a nuanced approach to viewing performance—and stress levels—on a spectrum.
The stress performance curve maps the relationship between how much stress someone is experiencing with their ability to achieve their goals.
Here’s how:

At the top of the curve, workers are engaged in challenging but exciting tasks. This level of stress is motivating and doesn’t overload you.
After the peak, employees can quickly descend into exhaustion and burnout.
