Workplace stress increasingly important

The State Labor Inspectorate has been running a program since 2014 – previously it was a preventive program, now for two years it has been a preventive program called "Counteracting the negative effects of stress in the workplace". This is a program that enjoys great success because, among other things, one of the elements implemented during this program is free training at a very high level – usually conducted by psychologists. Such training is effective and helpful – implemented in three paths. At the first, the employer chooses to study the stressfulness of work characteristics. The report also consists of a proposal and identification of possible sources that are the cause of stressors, but also, which is extremely important, corrective actions at three different levels. 

"This is extremely important because through such a report employers learn that not all of the actions taken to improve working conditions in relation to psychosocial working conditions require a great deal of investment. Some of these measures are really very simple and can be implemented immediately," Marta Bem, a psychologist from the State Labor Inspectorate said.

“The second pathway is only related to training. The employer signs up for a prevention program. And the third path, which can be chosen by the employer taking part in the prevention program – that is, firstly to carry out a survey, and then to carry out training tailored to the results presented in the report following the survey of stressful work features," Marta Bem added.
