Work concerns increase across Europe
Concern about mental ill-health, stress, violence and harassment at work is increasing within European organisations, according to a study by European Agency for Safety and Health at Work. The study, one of the biggest workplace health and safety surveys in Europe, found four out of five European managers expressed concerns about work-related stress.
