Speaker: Leslie Hammer, PhD, Oregon Healthy Workforce Center
Workplaces significantly impact employees' mental health through systemic factors like job design, organizational culture, and leadership practices. In this webinar, Dr. Leslie Hammer discusses adopting a population health approach by identifying and modifying psychosocial risk factors—such as high job demands, low employee control, inadequate social support, and unfair treatment—that contribute to job stress. By integrating evidence-based strategies, including training supervisors in supportive behaviors that encompass emotional support, instrumental assistance, role modeling, and stigma reduction, organizations can redesign work processes and cultivate a culture that promotes both mental and physical well-being.
