The Psychosocial Working Environment

The psychosocial working environment and organisation of work has major implications on workers’ mental and physical health and attachment to the labour market. The ‘Tripartite Agreement on Prioritised National Targets for Working Environment Efforts’ of 2020 states that fewer people should be subjected to significant mental strains in the workplace. This research programme is intended to contribute to that aim.

Vision

The vision for the NFA’s psychosocial working environment research is to generate knowledge that can contribute to the promotion of health, ability to work, well-being and opportunities for healthy and safe workplaces as well as a long and productive working life for workers in the Danish labour market.

Our aim is to continue to expand collaboration with stakeholders on research that can provide knowledge and solutions to the challenges, problems and potentials that exist in relation to psychosocial working environments. 

We want to contribute to concrete knowledge and interventions, as well as capture trends over time that may be of significance to psychosocial working environments and employees’ health and safety in the future. We will do this through strong collaborations both in Denmark and abroad on research and practice, among other ways.
