Your umc ensures that you work in a safe and healthy working environment. Your umc stimulates sustainable employability. One of the issues that almost everyone in the umcs has to deal with is work pressure. In many professions, the supply of work is large, work has to be done quickly and there is a shortage on the labor market, so that the work cannot always be done with the number of employees that is actually needed. Work pressure has therefore become an important labor issue. The umcs are aware of this and that is why there is a policy to prevent, limit and solve work pressure. The risks of work pressure are regularly inventoried (RI&E) and interventions take place on the work floor to prevent, reduce and deal with work pressure. The interventions focus on managers and employees. The interventions from the umcs are exchanged through several national working groups.
The collective labor agreement also offers starting points for working on work pressure in the umcs, see the Six Track Plan in Appendix M under the title 'Tackling work pressure'.
There must be a balance between job satisfaction and burdensome factors. On this website you will find what you can do yourself to maintain or achieve that balance. Your umc also offers you information and training for this.
As an employee, you share in the responsibility for a healthy and safe working environment by striving for healthy working behaviour. You can give your manager or the occupational health and safety advisor tips on how to improve your working environment.
