Work-related stress

In 2010, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions published its findings on work-related stress in Europe. In Germany the topic of work-related stress and the psychological health of employees has been accorded special attention due to the economic losses and the long recovery period associated with mental health problems. Health insurers, governmental agencies and social partners have acknowledged the rising importance of work-related stress and offer different approaches on how to deal with the issue.
