Abstract

Occupational psychological health problems have been increasing alarmingly in the last twenty or so years, becoming an issue of concern. This situation dictates the adoption of a primary prevention strategy inspired by the methods for detecting and preventing risks known more for worker health and safety. The aim of this knowledge project is to offer managers a tool for the early detection of psychosocial risks that allows the workers’ psychological health to be evaluated as well as an organizational diagnosis to be established. An existing program and guide will first be validated by a sample of human resource managers, and then reproduced on a DVD included in a training kit. The objective is also to create software for producing organizational diagnosis reports in order to rapidly establish a company’s psychosocial risk profile. This material will facilitate the adoption of a more preventive than curative approach to psychosocial, psychological health, burnout, and organizational crisis risks.
