It is recognised that individuals have different strengths and weaknesses and differing abilities to cope with pressure. These differing responses can make it difficult to determine an individual's susceptibility to work-related stress. Common psychological, physical and behavioural signs of stress include poor concentration, irritability, headaches, insomnia and increased sickness absence.
