‘Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress’ is a decentralised campaign open to organisations and individuals at local, national and European levels. It is coordinated at national level by EU-OSHA’s focal points in more than 30 European countries, and supported by official campaign partners – pan-European and multinational organisations and the campaign media partners.
Throughout 2014 and 2015 EU-OSHA is campaigning to raise awareness of the importance of managing stress and psychosocial risks in the workplace. Although tackling psychosocial risks and work-related stress may seem challenging, this campaign aims to demonstrate that they can be dealt with in the same logical and systematic way as any other occupational safety and health issue. With this in mind, the Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2014-15 has the following key objectives:
- to raise awareness of the growing problem of work-related stress and psychosocial risks;
- to provide and promote the use of simple, practical tools and guidance for managing psychosocial risks and stress in the workplace;
- to highlight the positive effects of managing psychosocial risks and stress in the workplace, including the business case.
