How can we improve mental health in the workplace?

Stress and burn-out have a major impact on people and organisations. In a large-scale European project, researchers will develop interventions to promote our mental health at work. To this end various experimental projects will be set up in Europe, including two in the Netherlands: one at the University of Amsterdam and one at the Department of Waterways and Public Works. The goal of the international project 'Mental Health in the Workplace', or H-Work for short, is to effectively promote mental health in organisations in the care, government and SME sectors. These are all sectors where high levels of work pressure and (sickness-related) absenteeism are reported. To this end experimental projects are being developed in the public healthcare sector, academic and government organisations and in small and medium-sized enterprises in five European countries (Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic).
