This policy brief analyses the approaches of six EU Member States to psychosocial risk (PSR) prevention and management. It examines national legislation and strategies as well as drivers of change impacting workplace mental health.
A new policy brief and six national reports from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Estonia and Croatia shed light on legislation, strategies and initiatives for recognising, preventing and managing psychosocial risks (PSRs) at the workplace.
The national reports explore the evolution and governance of PSRs, with a specific focus on stakeholder feedback and opinions. They also consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalisation as drivers for change.Â
The policy brief identifies areas needing further action, such as adapting approaches to modern workplaces, raising awareness to combat stigma, and strengthening prevention through expert guidance. It also emphasises practical resources to support employers and workers in improving PSR management.
