MEPs want law to combat stress and harassment at work
The European Parliament's Employment Committee approved recommendations for a new EU law aimed at preventing psychosocial risks, including stress, burnout, and workplace harassment. The proposals include mandatory employer risk assessments, specific policies against bullying and discrimination, and the right to disconnect. The Parliament is expected to vote on the initiative during its October 2026 plenary session, after which the European Commission will have three months to respond.
