It is time to End Stress in the EU!

Europe is in the midst of a stress epidemic. More than half of all working days lost in the EU are caused by work-related stress. It is time for a new EU directive on psychosocial risks at work.

More than half of all workers in the EU report that work-related stress is common in their workplace, with 4 in 5 managers expressing concern about work-related stress.

89% of employers state that complying with the legislation is the main reason why they manage occupational health and safety. This is why we call on the EU Commission to propose new EU legislation on psychosocial risks at work.

Only European legislation on psychosocial risks can help workers. With our call being supported by the European Parliament, EESC, civil society and many Member States, it is time to #EndStress in the EU!
