PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND STRESS CONTROL

This paper highlights the interplay between workplace culture, productivity, absenteeism, and presenteeism, demonstrating the importance of management commitment in cultivating supportive environments. Key strategies include implementing structured risk management processes, tailoring action plans to organizational contexts, establishing clear policies for addressing work stress control, and integrating psychosocial considerations into OSH frameworks. Psychosocial risks in the workplace, encompassing factors such as high job demands, poor workplace relationships, lack of control, and stressors like bullying and harassment, significantly impact employee health and organizational performance. Insights from the European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER) underscore the prevalence and implications of these risks, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies. Addressing psychosocial risks as a critical component of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) programs enhances employee well-being and organizational productivity. By fostering positive workplace relationships, encouraging employee partic pation, and committing to continuous improvement, organizations can mitigate psychosocial risks effectively. Proactive management of these hazards contributes to healthier, more resilient work environments and long-term organizational success.
