Stress Reducing Uncertainty Uncertainty can cause high levels of stress.
In these cases lack of information or the actions of other people are negatively affecting your ability to perform. The most effective way of countering this is to ask for the information you need. This might be information on your organisation's performance. It may involve asking what your employer wants from you in the future, so that you can set the appropriate career development goals. If you are unsure of how you are doing, ask for a performance review.
