Portugal: LABPATS, a laboratory for healthy working environments

As part of its EATS (ecosystems for healthy work environments) initiative, the Portuguese civil service has created a laboratory that will study the health and wellbeing of workers and organisations. The goal is to promote their protection without neglecting performance. Working as a network, under a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach, the lab will bring together researchers, experts, academic institutions, non-profits, non-governmental organisations and government departments.
