Summary
Background
The reason for this project is twofold: Stress causes illness in persons and organisations and thus becomes a big economic cost factor. Stress is an important occupational safety and health (OSH) concern in about 80% of European businesses and is one of the main reasons for lost working days. However, less than a third of European organisations have procedures in place to deal with work-related stress. The survey shows that there is often a lack of expertise and specialist support.
Objectives
The objectives and the results are: 1. Develop an education module based on experiences in industry that will equip professionals working in industry with the necessary knowledge and skills. Divided in basic and especialised training (for different stakeholders)2. Develop a suite of practical tools that can be used by suitably trained professionals to quantify stress levels in an organisation and at an individual level, 3. Design and pilot test an appropriate training (per country)
Implementation
The implementation of the project has been carried out without any problem. All the programmed tasks have been developed. Last part of project (piloting phase) was affected by COVID-19 situation in Europe. Piloting phase at university with classess was affected and run mainly in on-line format. Piloting phase with companies was affected and executed mainly in on-line format. We asked for the extension of the project (2 months) in order to facilitate the finalisation of the piloting phase.
Results
All the expected results have been developed.The IMPRESS solution is formed by the following tools/applications:The personal/individual Stress Factor Assessment. (ENG, SP, GER, LT).
