Course architecture
Module 1 - What are we really talking about? Demystifying psychosocial risk factors
What exactly do we mean by "psychosocial risk factors"? This first module lays the foundation by presenting the 12 indicators of the INSPQ model. These indicators cover two major dimensions of the workplace:
Organizational context:
1. Work and employment context
2. Sick leave and presenteeism
3. Occupational health activities or policy
4. Violence and harassment prevention activities or policy
5. Return-to-work activities or program
6. Work-life balance activities or program
Key organizational components:
7. Workload
8. Decision-making autonomy
9. Information and communication
10. Recognition at work
11. Social support from supervisors
12. Social support from colleagues
By the end of this module, participants will have a common frame of reference to identify and name what they are experiencing and observing around them.
Module 2 - When PSRs take hold: understanding the cascading effects on individuals and teams
This module explores the link between stress and exposure to psychosocial risk factors, using realistic scenarios and breakout group discussions.
Participants learn to recognize warning signs, both for themselves and their colleagues, and understand how a poorly managed factor can lead to a deterioration in the work environment.
Module 3 - Taking action: developing the right habits for a healthier workplace
Putting words to what we experience at work is a first step. Knowing how to contribute to it on a daily basis is what collectively builds a healthier workplace. This final module focuses on shared responsibility: every team member can, at their own level, take actions that either protect or undermine psychological health at work.
Through collaborative discussions and exercises, participants identify behaviors and actions that increase or reduce risks, and leave with realistic commitments that are applicable the very next day.
