Description and Table of Contents
Description
Whilst the rapidly changing working environment can be challenging and stimulating, it can also be very stressful. Research has shown that mismanaged pressure or excessive stress can adversely affect individual performance, physical health and psychological well-being. In this context, it is important for each organization to understand and evaluate the costs of stress at work, and try to minimize health risks to their employees and damages to company performance and quality. This report details three European case studies from companies in Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK.
