Stress Campaign: A description of the joint effort to prevent workrelated stress at municipal and regional workplaces

This booklet is a complete description of the special efforts implemented by the regional and municipal social partners in Denmark in order to create the best imaginable frameworks for the prevention of work-related stress.

Key concepts

Identification: How do we find out if there is stress at our workplace – and where?
Prevention: How do we avoid stress that is harmful to health and chronic stress?
Managing: What will we do if someone experiences stress?

But the focal point of the work is the ideas about prevention.

In Denmark, there is a tradition which is more than 100 years old, of the social partners having a great influence on the provisions that apply to the working environment. The forerunner of the Working Environment Council was established as early as in 1901 and here, employers and employees jointly founded the cooperation which, among other things, has led to a large number of agreements on parts of the Working Environment Act, creation of an allembracing safety organisation and 11 working environment councils for the various industries.

'The campaign has ensured a far better employee identification and it has worked brilliantly'
Michael Ziegler, Local Government Denmark, Chairman of The Personnel Policy Forum

'The European stress agreement has been a really good door opener for the stress work'
Dennis Kristensen, FOA, KTO, Deputy Chairman of The Personnel Policy Forum

'There is no doubt that there is reason for great awareness on the subject of stress'
Kristian Ebbensgaard, Danish Regions, Member of The Personnel Policy Forum

The central influence from partners has increased through a large number of committees, boards and funds where both employers and employees are represented. At the same time, both the social partners and politicians in Denmark want the partners influence to continue to be strong and for it to be increased further through agreements. Moreover, both the Working Environment Act and the EU are setting the stage for more agreements on the working environment area.

The European partners' 'Draft framework agreement on work-related stress' from 2004 thus forms the basis for the 'Stress Protocol of 24 May 2005', which is the first example that the partners have implemented EU agreements in the collective public sector agreements.
