Stress and psychosocial risks increased in working life in 2017

Neuchâtel, 20.08.2019 - Stress is an increasing problem in the workplace. In 2017, 21% of economically active persons were very often stressed at work compared with 18% in 2012. In general, a rise was also seen for psychosocial risks. However, the frequency of physical risks remained stable. Almost half (49%) of persons who were stressed said that they were emotionally exhausted at work and were at greater risk of a burnout. These are some of the results of the latest publication from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

This press release and further information on this topic can be found on the FSO website (see link below).
