Employment and Health : Psychosocial Stress in the Workplace

The changing nature of work (contract working, job insecurity, downsizing, privatization and deregulation) has had a profound effect on employment and health.

The book covers government policy, EU directives, health and safety, industrial/employment policies and general welfare.

Insecurity, stress and industrial injuries impact adversely on health and well-being.

The author looks at the response of employers, including the gap between expressing concern over health at work and actually doing anything about it.
