Abstract title Workplace mental health: developing an integrated approachAuthor Prof. LaMontagne, A.D., Deakin University, Burwood, Australia (Presenting author)Co-author(s)

Abstract text

Mental health problems are prevalent and costly in working populations. Workplace interventions to address common mental health problems have evolved relatively independently along three main threads or discipli-nary traditions: medicine, public health, and psychology. In this plenary presentation, I will argue that these three threads need to be integrated to optimise the prevention of mental health problems in working populati-ons.Torealisethegreatestpopulationmentalhealthbenefits,workplacementalhealthinterventionneedstocomprehensively 1) protect mental health by reducing workrelated risk factors for mental health problems; 2) promote mental health by developing the positive aspects of work as well as worker strengths and positive capacities; and 3) address mental health problems among working people regardless of cause. While the pre-sentationwillfocusonthefirsttwoofthesethreeelements,thethirdwillbediscussedbrieflyasanessentialelement and an important entre point for some workplaces. I will outline the evidence and principles suppor-ting such an integrated intervention approach, discuss the future research, policy, and practice developments needed to move towards this goal, and propose an integrative notion of workplace mental health literacy. An integrated approach to workplace mental health combines the strengths of medicine, public health, and psy-chology, and has the potential to optimise both the prevention and management of mental health problems in the workplace.

Abstract title Implementation of a comprehensive intervention for workplace mental health: lessons learnedAuthor Schelvis MSc., R.M.C., TNO, Leiden, The Netherlands (Presenting author)Co-author(s)

Abstract text

Objectives Work-related stress is highly prevalent in the educational sector. Organizational level participatory interventions that focus on changing workplace risk factors (thread 1) and promote positive work aspects (thread 2) could be effectiveinpreventingwork-relatedstressandpromotingwell-being.Ourstudyaimedtoevaluatetheeffecti-veness of such an intervention on the primary outcomes need for recovery and vitality in educational workers. It was hypothesized that the intervention would decrease need for recovery and increase vitality.

MethodsA quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Netherlands at two secondary VET schools, in two interven-tion departments (n=204) and two control departments (n=152), with 12- and 24-month follow-up measure-ments.Thepractice-basedinterventionconsistedoftwophases:1)intheneedsassessmentphase,staffandteachers developed actions to diminish risk factors and promote positive work aspects, under supervision of a facilitator,and2)intheimplementationphasetheseactions(e.g.astaffroom,individualperformancereviews)were implemented by the management teams. The implementation process was studied quantitatively and qualitatively along three lines: i) intervention design and implementation, ii) context, and iii) participants mental models.

ResultsNoeffectsoftheinterventionontheprimaryoutcomeswerefound.Thelackofeffectcouldbeexplainedbyimplementation failure. Several actions were implemented at school A, whereas this was not the case in school B. However, in both schools employees felt not involved in the choice of actions. In both schools, the imple-menters (i.e. the management teams) saw more progress towards realizing the actions than the participants. Responsibility for the intervention process was transferred from a consultant in phase 1 to the schools ma-nagement team in phase 2, but the management teams acted slowly and communication on actions taken was insufficient.Thisresultedinparticipantsdiminishedreadinessforchangeandanoverallnegativeperceptionof the intervention.

ConclusionThe intervention program in its current form cannot be recommended, since an elaborate implementation stra-tegy is lacking. We demonstrated that how the intervention is implemented and how implementation is percei-ved by participants, is as important as the actions that are taken.

Abstract title Supporting workers health and well-being by technological innovationsAuthor Prof. Verbeek, P.P., Twente University, Enschede, The Netherlands (Presenting author)Co-author(s)

Abstract text

Technologies to improve well-being at work often raise ethical concerns, ranging from issues of workplace privacy to paternalistic or even exploitative interventions by employers in the lives of employees. Anti-RSI soft-ware has the potential to monitor the productivity of employees; e-health applications and m-health device can bebeneficialtothewellbeingofemployeesbutalsorevealinformationabouttheirlifestyles,andcanbeame-ans to maximize their productivity. In this lecture, I will develop a framework to analyze and evaluate the impact of such technologies. The central concept in this framework is technological mediation. Rather than analyzing technologies as objects that are opposed to human beings, this frameworks approaches them as mediators of human-world relations. Technologies help to shape human actions and decisions, perceptions and practices. Whenused,technologiesarenotmerelyneutralinstrumentstoperformspecifictasks;theyorganizehow we perform these tasks, and how we interact with other people and the world around us.

Thismediationapproachdoesnotonlymakeitpossibletoanalysehowtechnologiesaffectcentraldimensionsof work and the wellbeing of employees. It also reveals an inherent normative dimension in workplace tech-nologies. First of all, such technologies implicitly embody ideals of what a good employee should do and be; they normalize work practices. Second, workplace technologies always have an impact on the wellbeing of employees, which makes it possible to evaluate them in terms of their impact on the quality of life, and on cen-tral issues like privacy, autonomy, and respect. Third, workplace technologies have an impact on our normative frameworks themselves. They also help to change ideas about good employeeship and good employership, and values like privacy, autonomy, and respect.

I will conclude this lecture with a vision on the possibilities to design workplace technologies in a responsible way. How to anticipate the mediating role of workplace technologies on wellbeing at work, and how to incorpo-rate those anticipations in the design of new technologies? Or: how to put well-being at work in the workplace technologies themselves?

Abstract text

We probably all know stressful working days. In my PhD research I investigated how new technologies, such assensors,smartreasoningande-coachingapps,couldbeusedtosupportofficeworkerstohandlestressappropriately. I approached the challenge from three perspectives:

1) I delved into work stress and intervention theory to build an understanding of the problem of work stress andfinddeterminantstoaddresswithsupportingtechnology.

2) In our project SWELL we aimed to develop technology that is context aware, so optimally adapted to thesituation and state of the user. Therefore, I investigated computational approaches to inferring the userscurrent working context and mental state from unobtrusive sensors (e.g. computer interactions, webcam forfacial expressions, Kinect for postures).

3) Tension may arise between technological possibilities of building rich user models and concerns that usersmight have, in particular regarding privacy. I proposed an improved human-centered development method,tailoredtothedesignofeffectiveandprivacy-friendlycontextawaresupportsystems.

Combining these three perspectives yielded a better understanding of how theoretical and technological in-sightscanbecombinedwithinputonuserneedsandconcerns,tobuildeffective,innovativeanduser-friendlysupport systems.

MethodsThedatawerecollectedamongarepresentativesampleof3793policeofficers.Twokindsofjobdemands,related to operational and organizational police demands, were measured with PSQ-Op and PSQ-Org. Job control and social support were assessed with two subscales of JCQ. Depression was assessed using CES-D inventory. The research model was tested by means of regression analysis using the PROCESS macros (Hayes, 2013).

Abstract text

Theconceptofhealthyworkplacehasbeendefinedasanorganizationthatmaximizestheintegrationofworkergoalsforwellbeingandcompanyobjectivesforprofitabilityandproductivity.Conditionsintodaysworkinglifemakenewapproachesnecessaryinordertolimitnegativehealtheffectsofworkandtoenhancewellbeingandhealth at work. About 24 % of the working population in Sweden report to have had work-related disorders during the last twelve months. In order to achieve a sustainable working life it is likely that strategies and actions fromdifferentandnewanglesareneeded.

ObjectivesThe present study is a part of a larger study (the GodA study; a Swedish acronym for good work environments and healthy workplaces) and aims to investigate how work environment factors, work ability, work motivation, work and life balance predict well-being at work.

MethodsThe GodA study is a 2-year follow up study in Sweden with a survey feedback design in three companies with both blue- and white collar workers. One of the companies serves as intervention-company, the other two as controls.

Abstract title Mitigating Employee Silence: The Effect of OHS Leading Indicators and the Mediating Role of BurnoutAuthor PhDDonohueDr.,R.D.,MonashUniversity,CaulfieldEast,Australia(Presentingauthor)Co-author(s) Cooper, B.K.; De Cieri, H.; Sheehan, C.; Shea, T.

Abstract text

ObjectivesThere is growing interest in the use of leading indicators to measure occupational health and safety practices inorganizationsand recentlyemployeesilencehasbeen identifiedasaconsequenceofburnout.Drawingupon Conservation of Resources theory (COR; Hobfoll, 1989), we examine the role of leading indicators of OHS in reducing negative outcomes such as burnout (work-related psychological fatigue and exhaustion) and employeesilence.Wefocusedonacquiescentsilence,definedasthepassivewithholdingofrelevant ideasdue to submission and resignation. According to COR theory, acquiescent silence is associated with burnout. Also, little is known about the mechanisms by which OHS leading indicators mitigate negative outcomes. We hypothesise that OHS leading indicators is negatively related to employee silence. In addition, we hypothesise that burnout mediates this relationship.

MethodsWe surveyed 4,750 teachers in Australia using a self-report online questionnaire. Pre-validated, multi-item measures of OHS leading indicators, burnout, and employee silence were utilised. Data were analysed using mediatedregressionandbias-correctedbootstrappingoftheindirecteffect.

ConclusionIncreasingly, organisations are focusing on proactive OHS practices such as leading indicators. Our study shows that leading indicators ameliorate negative employee outcomes such as burnout and silence. We also reveal a mechanism through which OHS leading indicators encourage employees to speak up and voice their OHSconcerns.OurfindingsareconsistentwiththekeytenetofCORtheorythat,whenemployeesareunderstress, they will conserve resources by withholding OHS relevant ideas, concerns, and information.

Abstract title Transforming two-dimensional dialogues into unique investigation of psycho social factors at workAuthor PhD Gullander, Maria, Novo Nordisk A/S, Bagsvrd, Denmark (Presenting author)Co-author(s) El-Salanti, Nadia

Abstract text

The objective was to establish a deeper understanding of factors leading people to experience unsustainable high stress levels in a Danish pharmaceutical company. Furthermore, it was to investigate if there were issues of a more structural character that need attention from Senior Management in order to prevent stress and en-hance the psycho social work environment.

The method was based on an idea of combining qualitative information with an epidemiological approach. This was initiated with the training of dialogue based methods and IGLO-forms (discussion formula at Individual-, Group-, Leader- and Organisational level) to all HR partners and managers by train the trainer concept. All teams were requested to assess the psycho social risk factors in the work environment by using one of the dialogue tools. The leader was recommended to facilitate the dialogue, and after completing an IGLO-form, the formwassubmittedtoaspecificmailbox.AllinformationfromtheIGLO-formswasgatheredinaconstructeddatabase where three main types of information were registered: 1) Background information and description of theidentifiedissue(s)affectingteamwell-being;2)A categorisation of identified issues in the working environ-ment. This was followed by a thorough explanation in a reference work that shows concrete examples of the issues based on the submitted IGLO-forms; 3) A categorisation of Organisation-level actions that were escala-ted to next management level.

The results showed that 403 teams (~ 4.200 employees) submitted 837 action plans. A total of 268 teams (70 %)haveescalatedactionstonextmanagementlevel.Thetopthreeidentifiedissueswere1)Need for a clear overview and prioritisation of tasks (reported by 123 teams); 2) Need for enhanced social support among colle-agues (reported by 96 teams) and 3) Demands exceed human resources (reported by 88 teams).

Abstract title Maximizing Worker Health: The Second Generation of IntegrationAuthor Professor DeJoy, M, University of Georgia, Athens Ga, United States of AmericaCo-author(s) Wilson, M.G. (Presenting author)

Abstract text

ObjectivesWorkplace health promotion (WHP) and related programs have become increasingly common in many deve-loped economies. Program development has been and continues to be driven by a combination of factors, including rising health care/productivity-related costs, growing global competition, aging and more diverse workforces, and the need to attract and retain skilled and able workers. This presentation addresses current trendsinworker/workplacehealthandarguesthatsignificantprogresscanbestbeachievedthroughaninte-grative approach, but one involving a second level or generation of integration.

MethodsThe development of WHP is examined in terms of three broad trends or perspectives: 1) public health or tradi-tional WHP, 2) integrated worker/workplace health, and 3) well-being focused worker/workplace health. These threeperspectiveswillbebrieflysummarized,critiqued,andcompared.Next,thecasewillbemadethatthesethree trends are actually converging and facing a similar set of cross-cutting challenges. Six challenges will be discussed: 1) the need to achieve comprehensiveness and/or integration to maximize success; 2) the need to decide on the key indicators/outcomes of program success (health, productivity, costs); 3) how best to make aneffectivebusinesscase(ROI,humancapital,firmperformance,etc.);4)howtoeffectivelyactivateleadershipandproduceactualculturechange;5)theneedtoimproveinterventionqualityandeffectiveness(evidence-ba-sed practice/practice-based evidence); and 6) the importance of increased program reach and participation (especially the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, overcoming resistance, etc.). How these challenges are met will largely determine the future direction or directions of programming

ResultsBasedonthisanalysis,asecondgenerationintegratedframeworkisoffered.Thefirstphaseorgenerationofintegration centered primarily on integrating health promotion and health protection; in contrast, this second generation emphasizes the integration of worker-related programs and services within the core business or or-ganizational enterprise. This requires parallel attention to employee and organizational goals, a type of strategic alignment involving joint optimization.

ConclusionThis type of integration is ultimately needed for producing cultural change, fully engaging leadership, and devi-sing programming that improves the worker, the work, and the workplace.

Abstract title moove the first approach linking individual health related behavior change to corporate wellbeing vitaliberty pioneering eWellbeingAuthor Dr. Schweiker, US, Vitaliberty, Mannheim, Germany (Presenting author)Co-author(s)

Abstract text

ObjectivesTo make it possible to link individual paths towards improved wellbeing with corporate approaches, Vitaliberty, a German based start-up, has developed a webportal corporations use to enable each individual employee to manage his or her health related activities and simultaneously derive insights into causes and intervention opportunities towards improvements without compromising privacy and data integrity.

MethodsThe smartphone and web-based moove portal allows the individual employee to answer questions concern-ing his or her status quo regarding all aspects of total worker health. Based on a virtual expert analysis of the self-descriptive data the individual gets a feedback on individual wellbeing along with suggestions for individual activity goals and means to reach them based on a huge variety of information, e-learning, entertainment, and all kinds of activities (from cooking to running, meeting people, engaging in arts, practicing all kinds of physical training, meditation, singing, etc.). The goal related activities are then continuously monitored, re-considered, and changes are suggested if needed. In parallel, the collected information on individuals is summarized to provide feedback to organizations or parts of it to trigger the installment of programs more customized to indivi-dual needs than ever before.ResultsMany organizations have used the moove-platform to improve corporate health management.

ResultsInclude a usage number above 85% of the workforce, continuous participation in programs for more than a year of 50% on average, increased awareness by executives and managers of wellbeing related corporate culture issues. Above all, higher visibility of Corporate Health Managers in their organizations and a growing understanding of the value contribution of their interventions. But also, the insight that they need a more com-prehensive understanding of wellbeing beyond the former health-related dimensions.

ConclusionThe approach has proven that it is possible to generate a total worker health approach that really meets indivi-dual motivation - despite our lack of understanding the diversity - and corporate goals at the same time. Better integration of analogue programs and digital support is needed.

MethodsExisting research across a diverse set of disciplines is reviewed and integrated into a coherent picture of the relationships between organizational attributes, psychological states, and worker health and organizational outcomes. We test a model of expected relationships between these sets of variables by comparing study re-sults from the existing literature that support/fail to support the model.

ResultsWorkers emotional response to the work environment in the form of psychological states (e.g., positive emoti-ons, meaning, competence, safety) is key to understanding the relationships between organizational attributes and worker health and work outcomes. Attributes that provide a positive psychological state tend to fall into thefollowingcategoriesofpsychologicalsatisfaction:privacy,flexibility,predictability,equity,comfort,connec-tion, and safety. These attributes are interpreted as drivers of positive psychological states, and they can be manifested in a variety of ways in organizations. What matters is whether an aspect of the organization (e.g., a programorworksetting)isinterpretedashavingoneofthequalitiesofpsychologicalsatisfactionweidentified.

MethodsThe GodA study is a 2-year follow up study with a survey feedback design in three companies with both blue- and white collar workers. In one of the companies the GodA-method for processing survey feedbacks was developed and tested. Baseline results concerning workplace factors were split into nine themes, small enough tobeprocessedduringrespectiveworkinggroupsmonthlystaffmeetings.At themeetingstheemployeesdiscussedtodaystheme,firstwithout,thentogetherwiththeirsupervisoranddecidedononeactionforimpro-vements. This strategy was chosen in order to empower the employees and implicitly train their communication skills. The intervention was followed by process evaluations.

ResultsNine working groups, each with 7-13 employees, were studied. The degree to which the various groups active-ly took actions for improvements seemed to be associated with the closest supervisors understanding of the importance of respective themes and his/her capability to conduct group discussions.

Communication was measured by a 5-item index showing the discrepancy between experienced and desirable communication level, where -0,5 0 was considered as good. In groups (=5) performing 3-5 meetings the com-munication index in average deteriorated from -0.89 to -1.41, whereas groups (=4) performing 8-9 meetings the index improved or remained at a rather high level, in average from -0.92 to -0.71.

ConclusionThe results give support to the idea that systematic and continuous training focusing on a mutual theme is a feasible method for improving communication skills. Training of supervisors for group discussions seems ne-cessary.

Abstract title The feasibility of the CARm training: an integrated client centered approach by labour experts to support work participation in clients with multiple problemsAuthor drs. Brongers, Kor, University Medical Centre Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands (Presenting author)Co-author(s) Cornelius, Bert; Brouwer, Sandra

Abstract text

ObjectivesIn many Western welfare states, active labour market policies have been introduced aimed at social inclusion and vocational rehabilitation of unemployed persons with disabilities. These policies focus on client empower-ment,encouragingtheunemployedtotakeresponsibilitytofindwork.Thisinvolvesdifferentknowledgeandskills from the professionals. Therefore we developed a training for labour experts (LEs), the Comprehensive Approach of Reintegration for clients with Multiple problems (CARm) training. To determine whether the CARm training is appropriate for the work of LEs we conducted a feasibility study.

MethodsKey elements of the CARm training are adopted from the Comprehensive Approach of Rehabilitation (CARe), a well-known approach in mental health care, focussing on strengths of the person and of the community, and aiming to support personal recovery and participation. Data was gathered about acceptability (satisfaction, perceived appropriateness), demand (expresses interest, intention to use), implementation (success or failure ofexecution)andpracticality(abilitytocarryouttheintervention).Bothtrainees(n=8)andtrainers(n=3)filledin questionnaires post each training day, and the trainees also pre-training and after three months. Moreover, a discussion meeting (trainees) and expert meeting (trainers) was conducted post training.

ResultsThe acceptability (0-10) was high (mean scores trainees: 7.6; trainers: 7.7). The perceived appropriateness was satisfying: 6 out of 7 trainees stated the training was appropriate for their clients. The practicality, i.e. the ability to carry out the intervention, was high. The professionals reported improvements on: focus on strength rather than problems (7 out of 8); integrated overview of client and social environment (8 out of 8); client self-manage-ment (7 out of 8); prioritizing problems from clients perspective (8 out of 8); client driven goalsetting (7 out of 8). Recommendations were given to improve the training: avoid psychiatric terms, less training days, more focus on network analysis and better integration of communication.

ConclusionThe CARm training is feasible for LEs, but needs small adjustments for further implementation. Our next step willbetoevaluatebyaclusterRandomizedControlledTrialthe(cost)effectivenessoftheCARmtrainingonfunctioning and work status of claimants with multiple problems.

Abstract text

ObjectivesThe majority of people experiencing mental-health problems do not seek help, and the stigma of mental illness is considered a major barrier to seeking appropriate treatment. More targeted interventions (e.g. at the work-place) seem to be a promising and necessary supplement to public campaigns, but little is known about their effectiveness.Theaimofthissystematicreviewistoprovideanoverviewoftheevidenceontheeffectivenessof interventions targeting the stigma of mental illness at the workplace.

Methods16studieswereincludedaftertheliteraturereview.Theeffectivenessofanti-stigmainterventionsatthework-place was assessed by examining changes in: (1) knowledge of mental disorders and their treatment and re-cognition of signs/symptoms of mental illness, (2) attitudes towards people with mental-health problems, and (3) supportive behavior. Moreover, a particular focus was placed on the assessment of the quality of evidence.

ResultsThe results indicate that anti-stigma interventions at the workplace can lead to improved employee knowledge and supportivebehavior towardspeoplewithmental-healthproblems. Theeffectsof interventionsonem-ployees attitudes were mixed, but generally positive. The quality of evidence varied across studies.
