Outreach
Implementation plan
The Council's Implementation Plan was developed to motive action by researchers and interested parties to address the seven research objectives and associated gaps identified in its research agenda.
The plan identifies achievable next steps to prevent adverse worker health and safety outcomes and improve the work experience.
Cross-sector description
Healthy Work-Design and Well-Being seeks to improve worker safety, health, and well-being through
- Work design.
- Work environments.
- Management practices.
Within the healthy work design framework, worker well-being encompasses positive physical, emotional, mental, and economic health. It also includes how these aspects of health relate to work and worker experiences from a comprehensive and holistic perspective.
The NIOSH Healthy Work Design and Well-Being Program facilitates the work of the Council and coordinates NIOSH research in this cross-sector.
Members
The Council has four co-chairs, three from the NIOSH Healthy Work Design and Well-Being Program and one from a partner organization. Members attend meetings and participate in workgroups.
