Ensuring a healthy psychosocial working environment

How's work? For many workers, the answer lies not only in what they do, but in how their work is designed, organized and managed, and in the broader policies, practices and procedures that govern work. Work can offer meaning, support and a sense of purpose. But when demands are excessive, roles are unclear, support is lacking, or systems fail to protect people, psychosocial risks can harm workers' safety and health, affect organizational performance and carry wider social and economic costs.
