Title Policy-level interventions and work-related psychosocial risk management in the European Union
Bibliographic information 3rd quarter 2010, Vol.24, No.3, p.298-307. 39 ref.
Abstract This article discusses the policy context to the management of work-related psychosocial risks in the EU, identifying major achievements and challenges in relation to policy and practice. It draws on the findings of the PRIMA-EF project, a policy-oriented research programme funded by the European Commission. It is concluded that although a common policy context in the area of psychosocial risk management has developed in the EU, there still exists great variation in the translation of these initiatives into practice in different EU member states. Moreover, evaluation in this area is sporadic, even though it could inform the way forward as it concerns both policy and practice developments.
