Stress is one of the most frequently reported work-related health problem in Europe and is believed to be the cause of the majority of all lost working days. Yesterday (7.04) in Brussels, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) launched a two year Europe-wide campaign: "Healthy Workplaces Manage Stress." The European Commission welcomes this initiative to raise awareness about the psychological, physical and social risks linked to stress at work. 

Greek Deputy Minister for Labour, Social Security and Welfare, Vasilis Kegkeroglou, represented the Greek EU Council Presidency at the campaign launch: "The Campaign is an excellent opportunity to promote the need for European workplaces to effectively tackle psychosocial risks and work-related stress, he said. “The campaign provides the required support and guidance to employers, managers, workers and their representatives."
