Mental ill health costs the EU billions every year, but the equivalent individual, community, and societal costs are immeasurable. On average people spend a third of their lives working, making it an important factor for mental health. The rapidly changing nature of work, advances in technology and globalisation have exacerbated the risk of developing mental ill health across the EU, as highlighted by the EU2020 Strategy’s concern for workers’ mental health. Nevertheless, the workplace also presents a significant opportunity to enhance mental well-being.
