Dutch term

belastbaarheid

Dutch to English Other Human Resources Absenteeism management
In een artikel over verzuimmanagement worden de begrippen "belasting en belastbaarheid van een werknemer"gebruikt.
Belasting lijkt mij goed vertaald met "workload", maar voor "belastbaarheid" kan ik geen oplossing vinden.

Capacity, as referred to on the website quoted in the answer you selected, relates to production. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with how much stress a person can cope with.

capacity

I think it's just 'capacity', i.e. how much a person is capable of producing (hoeveel werk iemand aan kan).

See website: "the balance between workload and capacity"

It is not directly related to stress. How many tasks can the person be given and still is able to perform. I can handle many tasks but if one too many, I will not crash, but the quality will deteriorate. I'll do a step back. It is about the amount of tasks that a person can carry.
