#EUmanagestress – EU-OSHA campaign calls on employers and workers to tackle work-related stress
EU-OSHA launches a two year Europe-wide campaign: ‘Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress’.
Speaking at the campaign launch in Brussels, László Andor, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion and Greek Deputy Minister for Labour, Social Security and Welfare, Vasilis Kegkeroglou, representing the Greek EU Council Presidency, called on Europe’s enterprises to recognise the need to tackle work-related stress.
