Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress

Healthy workplaces manage stress

Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress (European Campaign 2014-2015)

The key task of the 2014–15 campaign, ‘Healthy workplaces manage stress‘, is raising awareness of stress and psychosocial risks in the workplace and encouraging employers, managers and workers and their representatives to work together to manage those risks.

A campaign brochure is available which is the main guide to the ‘Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress’ Campaign 2014–15, organised by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). Its key aim is to help employers, managers, workers and workers’ representatives to recognise and manage stress and psychosocial risks in the workplace. Effectively tackling psychosocial risks creates a healthy work environment in which workers feel valued and the workplace culture is more positive, and, consequently, business performance improves. There is also a Healthy-workplaces-campaign-2015 presentation which provides further information.

News update: The importance of managing occupational safety and health (OSH) and in particular psychosocial risks and stress in the workplace was demonstrated in the sharing of good practices. A two-day benchmarking event for Official Campaign Partners of the Healthy Workplaces Campaign was organised by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). For further details, see the event summary.
