Work-related stress has been an important aspect when well-being at work has been studied or different measures have been developed to improve working conditions. Time pressure, burnout and different stress outcomes manifest the phenomenon of work-related stress in Finland. It has also been the area where numerous development programs and interventions have tried to get results. During the last few years, measures have emphasized well-being at work promoting positive aspects in spite of trying to prevent work-related stress. Q1 Monitoring work-related stress at the national level 1. Are there any instruments in place to monitor work-related stress at the national level, for example, national surveys, sectoral studies, epidemiological studies, action research, or other research programmes? Please describe the main sources of information available on work-related stress in your country (coverage, methodology, definitions used, etc.). The data in questions 2 and question 3(1) derive from the Quality of Work Life Survey (FQWLS), an extensive personal interview survey conducted since 1977 to monitor employees’ working conditions and changes in them.
