Psychosocial risks are of significant importance in the workplace, as they directly affect the emotional and mental well-being of workers, as well as the overall performance of organisations. These risks include factors such as stress, excessive workload, lack of autonomy, bullying and lack of social support.
When not managed properly, these factors can lead to mental health problems, decreased productivity, increased absenteeism and even interpersonal conflicts. Recognising and addressing psychosocial risks not only promotes a healthy and positive working environment, but also contributes to employee satisfaction and the overall success of the organisation.
