About this course

Overview and Outcomes.

Overview

Two pressures sit outside the classic stressor models: constant digital connection and financial strain. This module explains technostress and the always-on expectation, why it needed its own category beyond the Job Demands-Resources model and the HSE stressors, and how Volkswagen and France's right to disconnect changed the default structurally. It also treats financial wellbeing as a legitimate employer concern, drawing on CIPD survey work. Being sector-agnostic is not the same as being life-stage agnostic. Using two well-evidenced examples, menopause and neurodiversity, this module shows how demands and resources shift at particular points in a career or life, read through the six areas of resilience and the Job Demands-Resources model. The Channel 4 menopause policy provides a case, and three principles for supporting difference carry the approach to other situations.

What you'll develop

In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:

  1. Explain why technostress is a distinct demand and identify the assumed expectations that keep people always on.
  2. Distinguish a structural response from a willpower response, using the Volkswagen and French right to disconnect examples.
  3. Plan practical digital boundaries and financial wellbeing support, and assess six months on whether anything has actually changed.
  4. Explain how menopause and neurodiversity can change demands and resources, using the six areas of resilience as the map.
  5. Distinguish a tolerance framing from a resources framing and identify practical, low-cost adjustments to the demand or the resource.
