A lot of stress
Half of workers across Europe think that work-related stress is common, with 16% saying it is very common and four in 10 think that it is not handled well at their workplace, according to the findings of the 3rd edition of the pan-European opinion poll conducted by Ipsos MORI on behalf of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA)
Female workers are more likely than male workers to say that work-related stress is common (54% vs. 49%), as are workers aged 18-54 (53%) compared with workers aged 55+ (44%).
EU-OSHA Director Christa Sedlatschek says: “Next year we will launch our Healthy Workplaces Campaign on ‘Managing Stress’. The message to be conveyed across European companies of different sizes and sectors is that psychosocial risks can be dealt with in the same logical and systematic way as other health and safety issues.”
