Date: February 28th, 2024

Speaker: Peter L. Schnall, MD, MPH, Healthy Work Campaign

Work stressors in the United States are increasingly impacting employee health, leading to burnout, depression, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Factors like high demands, low control, effort-reward imbalance, and work-life imbalance not only harm well-being but also result in productivity loss and higher costs for employers. This webinar discusses evidence-based occupational health interventions, such as using the Healthy Work Survey to assess and reduce psychosocial hazards at work. By implementing strategies to mitigate work-related stress, organizations can improve job quality and create healthier work environments. The webinar focuses on practical methods for measuring and addressing workplace stressors to enhance both employee well-being and organizational performance.
