How it works

Organizational practices can impact the team's health and wellness beyond team members' behaviors. The global standards for a healthy and safe workplace include identifying and addressing employee health hazards. Therefore, assessments of the range of potential wellness risks should be conducted regularly.

While this may seem more evident for physical hazards, protections, and financial exposures for employees, other hazards are less noticeable. These hazards can create risk to the business, such as:

• Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs): Poor workstation design or repetitive motion can lead to chronic pain and injuries.
  
  
• Stress and burnout: High workloads, tight deadlines, and lack of support can lead to significant stress and burnout.
  
  
• Workplace bullying and harassment: A toxic work environment can have severe psychological impacts on employees, even leading to incidents of PTSD.
  
  
• Cybersecurity stress: The constant threat of cyber-attacks can cause stress among employees responsible for IT security.
