Description: Preventing Stress, Improving Productivity investigates the ways in which companies can combat stress by changing the workplace to reduce stress rather than by treating an already stressed individual. Costs and benefits of stress prevention in general are discussed, with an emphasis on approaches that involve both the individual and the place of work. This is followed by eleven chapters each concentrating on examples of best practice from a different European country with one case study analysed in detail.
