The StressOut project comes in answer to an ever-increasing need to help combat an issue common not only to the participating partner countries, but also to all of the EU and societies anywhere in general i.e. work-related stress.
The issue of work-related stress and burnout is connected to a complicated pool of reasons and consequences. Focusing on psychosocial risks and reducing stress at the workplace is one of the goals within the „EU strategic framework on health and safety at work 2021-2027 Occupational safety and health“, according to which mental health problems affected 84 million people in the EU already before the COVID-19 pandemic. The framework states that “evidence suggests that tackling hazards to psychosocial wellbeing requires a process with different stages implying changes in the work environment”, while “half of EU workers consider stress to be common in their workplace, and stress contributes to around half of all lost working days” and “nearly 80% of managers are concerned about work-related stress”.
Therefore, the StressOut project will apply a holistic approach by building a comprehensive digital training course, aiming to transfer some very specific skills and competences to its end users, via effective stress management techniques and innovative tools.
Your help and input will be valuable for us in identifying the most effective way to a healthier and more balanced work life! It will play a crucial role in shaping strategies to create healthier and more supportive working environments across the EU, better equipped to address stress and burnout.
