Conditions of work digest: Preventing stress at work

[ ILO manuals on stress prevention ]

[ Stress at workplace ]

The Digest is the ILO’s main publication in the field of stress prevention at work. When it first appeared in 1992, it was at the forefront of research and development work in its advocacy of stress prevention rather than curative interventions. Its extensive case studies of stress prevention programmes are unique and the Digest continues to be cited as an authority in all the main publications on work-related stress. It contains articles by many of the most eminent experts on workplace stress.

The Digest contains:

• an introduction to the subject of stress at work, which identifies trends and issues in an international perspective;
   
• an analysis of 19 case studies on preventive anti-stress programmes in Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States. These cases illustrate positive examples of how stress is tackled within the workplace, the different types of intervention, the role of the parties involved and the impact of the anti-stress programmes;
   
• a review of a selection of manuals, guidelines and videos on stress; and
   
• an annotated bibliography.
