Description
Málstofustjóri: Occupational health and wellbeing in times of crisis.The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused an unprecedented worldwide crisis with dramatic implications across several societal levels. Besides the concerns related to the propagation of the disorder, many critical economic and societal challenges have been raised. The restrictions imposed to reduce the propagation of the disorder lead to an increased social distancing between individuals with potential implications for occupational health and wellbeing. In such a context, it is relevant to understand the domains affected by the pandemic and investigate which aspects may mitigate pandemic-related adverse effects on health and wellbeing at work.
This session focus on health and wellbeing in the workforce within the context of crisis, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic and the post-pandemic era. Topics of interest include, among other things, descriptions of the physical and mental wellbeing of employees; work-related stress and burnout; psychosocial risk factors; experiences of particular occupational groups and sectors; organisational interventions for workforce support; the engagement of managers in workplace health initiatives; interventions to implement the promotion and protection of health, safety and wellbeing of all employees.
