Launching the Healthy Workplaces Campaign on mental health in Greece

Greece officially launches the Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2026-28 ‘Together for mental health at work’ in Athens at an event organised by EU-OSHA’s Greek focal point, the Hellenic Ministry of Labour and Social Security.

In a round table with government representatives, employers’ and workers’ organisations give their position on the campaign and explain how they will support it at national, regional and sectoral level.

After an overview of EU policy on psychosocial risks and mental health at work, the focal point presents the campaign and invites participants to organise their own activities in their sectors and networks.

The second part addresses mental and physical health together, with a guide and exercise toolkit to promote physical activity at work. Participants also learn about existing digital tools for prevention.

The event is aimed at employers, workers, occupational safety and health professionals, labour inspectors, researchers and students, and ends with an open discussion.
