| Abstract |
This report presents case studies from three European organizations which illustrate how costs of stress may be identified, the implementation of different types of interventions, and the ways in which associated cost benefits may be demonstrated in relation to health, well-being, productivity and quality. Lessons to be learned from the studies are discussed and methodologies for assessing the potential costs and benefits of stress intervention programmes are evaluated. Current practices in the area of stress intervention are also described. |
