Synopsis
Today’s evolving world of work makes it imperative for employers to manage psychosocial hazards (PSH) and risks leading to work-related stress. This book contains essential, general and country-specific information and templates for the successful management of hazards so as to prevent psychological harm in the workplace. Acknowledged as global issues affecting all workers and industries, PSHs are work factors that have the potential to lead to physical or psychological injury and stress, relating to how work is designed, organized, and managed, and to work relationships and interactions. This book advances the idea that management of PSH and psychological health and safety is part of today’s responsible and ethical employers’ duty of care for employees, and that United States employers should recognize this responsibility. Easy to follow, this guide presents comprehensive information on addressing PSH, discussing measures taken internationally (laws, guidance, and resources from Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan), as well as a new global standard on psychological health and safety at work. Practitioners and students in the fields of management, occupational health and safety, human resource management, ethics and compliance, occupational health psychology, and organizational psychology will come away with a deeper understanding of the importance of PSH and their management.
