When handled badly, employees face the issue of stress which is a problem to the organization because it causes poor performance. Conducting regular stress audit is important for the company too and should not be taken lightly. Organizations also need to ensure there are no negative events within the company that are stressful to the employees. When faced with such events, they tend to respond depending on the severity of the event and can respond in two ways passive or active. A. , Wesson, M. J. , & Gellatly, I.
