Why Not All Employees Are Stress-Resistant — And Why That’s Okay
Different people adapt to stress differently. Why is this important to understand?
Every company wants a team where “stress” isn’t intimidating but a manageable, even motivating, state. However, HR specialists and team leads often overlook a key fact: there are only four core types of stress responses.
Some employees experience hyperactivity under stress — increasing the number of actions they take, while overall efficiency drops. Others may freeze, unable to manage even routine tasks in high-pressure moments.
Understanding your team’s individual stress response patterns allows you to allocate tasks more strategically and improve team performance under pressure. The 3PX MENTAL ARMORY system helps identify and work with these patterns.
