Mental health at the Workplace and the European Pact on Mental Health “Emerging psychosocial risks related to OSH” Brussels, 9 February 2008 Jürgen Scheftlein Health Determinants Unit, DG SANCO, European Commission

Structure Workplace and public health The value of Well-being Towards a European Pact for Mental Health and Well-being

Workplace and public health Traditional view: -OSH and public health as separate areas - Employers: „The business of business is business“ Medical professionals: „Where is the evidence for the effectiveness of prevention?“

Workplace and public health In real life, they are not separate: -A big share of „well-being“, stress and the vulnerability/resilience is imported to workplaces; -The workplace has an important impact on health, positively or negatively. An argument for a holistic view.

Workplace and public health In consequence, there is scope for cooperation: -Managers and social partners recognise the relevance of health; CSR Europe laboratory on well-being at the workplace. -Public health discovers the workplace as a setting for action on health. Commission White Paper on Health

The value of well-being A change in focus: -Tackling illness; -Preventing risks; Framework Agreements on Prevention of work- related stress and Harassment and Violence at WP -Promoting protective factors. Community strategy on health and safety at work

The value of well-being Health and well-being are increasingly addressed as a strategic resource: -Psychosocial risks as a priority of OSH-strategies at workplaces and at Community-level; -Health as an issue oscillating between OSH-, HR and CSR-departments.

The value of well-being Mental health problems are no longer related to employees only, but are now also related to management style and work organisation.

The value of well-being Some leaders are emerging, such as: -BTGroup -EdF/GdF At the same time, the health community increases cooperation with employers: -Enterprise for Health (EfH) EU-level sets an important share of the regulatory framework and also enables exchange on prevention and promotion
