General information on the psychosocial work environment
Employers must ensure the safety, health and well-being of employees by identifying risk factors in the work environment related to organisation, management and communication.
Many factors fall under the psychosocial work environment, with workplace organization being a key cornerstone, but equally important are the working practices that develop through cooperation and communication between colleagues in the course of their duties.
It is important to promote a healthy workplace culture, which refers to the values, customs and attitudes that prevail in the work environment and are adopted by employees in their interactions, cooperation and problem-solving.
A healthy workplace culture forms the foundation for employee safety and well-being, which is why it is essential to assess the factors in the work environment that influence this culture and, consequently, employee well-being.
