EU Moves Toward Forcing Employers To Protect Workers' Mental Health
Original: EU Could Force Employers To Protect Workers' Mental Heath
The European Union is considering new rules that would legally require employers to take measures protecting workers' mental health. The proposal would put psychological wellbeing on the same footing as physical safety in workplace risk assessments. Business groups and unions are expected to clash over the cost and scope of such obligations as the plan moves through EU institutions.
Why now: A proposed EU rule making mental health protection a legal duty for employers would affect workplaces across Europe, prompting debate over costs and worker rights.
