Abstract:
The social partners’ cross-sector agreement on stress at work, initiated in 2004 at EU level, has had a positive effect, a report has shown. Although the implementation of the agreement has been uneven across the EU, it has led to new policy developments in 12 Member States. The report, issued on 24 February 2011, looks at how the agreement has been enacted, its results and the lessons learnt, including the importance of joint action between social partners.
