The law of 26 March 2018 on strengthening economic growth and social cohesion provides for the financing of projects aiming at the primary prevention of burn-out. The projects are financed by part of the social contribution for 'risk groups'. On 15 June 2018, a draft Royal Decree was approved in this context by the Council of Ministers.
This text describes the conditions, procedure and arrangements for granting a subsidy; they are also described on the website of the National Labour Council.
The projects covered are the pilot projects that 'aim for an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to the psychosocial risks at work and burn-out in particular'.
The projects in question must be of a maximum duration of 1 year and must focus on the prevention of burn-out at work by means of collective measures (information and awareness-raising, identification and implementation of prevention measures, evaluation of these measures, etc.).
No actions should be implemented that have already been carried out.
Are also excluded, (particularly) the execution of a psychosocial risk analysis and the individual counselling of employees who are victims of burn-out.
Subsidies for projects that aim at the primary prevention of burn-out at work can be applied for by:
The subsidy application (in 2018) must be submitted electronically via the website of the National Labour Council by 15 September 2018 at the latest.
The flat-rate amount of the subsidy shall not exceed EUR 8,000 excl. VAT per project.
When appropriate, the subsidy will be granted by the Minister of Work until the available budget is used up, after examination of the application and on the basis of a well-grounded advice from the National Labour Council.
Next to the projects aiming at the primary prevention of burn-out at work referred to above, there are other projects such as:
