Factsheet 8 - Stress at Work: Summary of an Agency report

There has been a growing recognition that the experience of stress at work has undesirable consequences for the health of employees and their organisations. The European Agency therefore commissioned a report to assess the situation. The report reviews the nature of stress, its causes, extent and management.

The report suggests a practical approach to tackle stress at work and highlights a number of areas where research is needed to increase our ability to manage work-related stress.
