Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in many European Union Member States in recognizing the importance of psycho-social risks, in particular work-related stress risk, both at policy and implementation levels (e.g. development of policies and legislation, best practice standards, stakeholder agreements towards a common strategy, promotion of social dialogue, dissemination of scientific knowledge on work-related stress and psycho-social factors), which led to the adoption of specific measures to evaluate and manage this risk (European Parliament, 2013).
