France: Report calls for action on 'psychosocial risks' at work

A report commissioned by the government and submitted in March 2008 examines how to tackle "psychosocial risks" at work, notably stress, and calls for a range of actions to address the problem.

The minister of labour, Xavier Bertrand, commissioned a group of experts to draw up a report on the "definition, measurement and follow-up of psychosocial risks at work" in November 2007.
