Performance pressure

Performance pressure is often seen as an individual problem. Something to do with resilience, mindset or the ability to handle stress.

But in practice we see something different:

• teams that are under constant strain
• employees who only raise the alarm when it is already too late
• well-meant wellbeing initiatives that do not remove the underlying pressure

In this webinar, we look at performance pressure from a different angle: as an interplay between the person, the team and the organization, rather than a problem of the individual employee. Occupational psychologist Sarah Kintaert outlines how performance pressure arises, what does and does not increase it, and the concrete role managers and HR play in it.

After that, Tom Lauwereins, Safety, Health & Environment Advisor at Cegeka, takes you through their approach. How does an organization with 9000+ employees, in a sector with high expectations and tight deadlines, deal with performance pressure? What choices did they make, what works, and what turned out to be harder than expected?

You will get:

insight into how performance pressure arises and escalates

recognition of signals in behaviour, communication and collaboration

concrete ways to offer clarity and stability in your team

tools you can use straight away as HR or as a manager

This webinar is for anyone who wants people to perform and stay healthy, but notices that the balance is sometimes hard to maintain.
