Stress accounts for 60% of all lost days in the workplace
According to a study on work-related stress from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, stress is the second most frequently reported work-related health problem in Europe, after musculoskeletal disorders.
Over a nine-year period, nearly 28% of European workers reported exposure to psychosocial risks that affected their mental well-being. The 2015 European Week for Safety and Health at Work, running from October 19 to 23, is part of the Healthy Workplaces Campaign, ‘Manage Stress’.
