Description of Assignment

Mental health, vitality, and sustainable employability are becoming increasingly important topics within modern organizations. Employees face growing workloads, constant change, and higher expectations, which can lead to stress, reduced energy levels, and long-term absenteeism. This issue often arises due to a combination of organizational pressure, unclear priorities, and limited awareness of early stress signals.

The impact is significant: decreased productivity, lower engagement, and an increased risk of burnout. Organizations therefore need effective, evidence-based approaches to support employee wellbeing and create a healthy work environment. In this assignment, you will research how Health & Wellbeing initiatives can help prevent psychosocial workload issues and support sustainable performance. The central research question  

may be formulated as:

How can organizations strengthen employee vitality and prevent work-related stress through targeted Health & Wellbeing policies and interventions?

Students are actively involved in projects and regularly work together with colleagues from different departments.
