WHAT AFFECTS WELLBEING AT WORK
Workload and its sustainability Control over how work is done Clarity about what is expected Relationships and how people are treated Physical conditions Security about the job itself Whether effort is recognised
WHY CONTROL MATTERS
Demanding work with little control over it is far harder than demanding work with autonomy.
WHAT TO ESTABLISH
That wellbeing is a management matter rather than an individual one.
WHY
Most causes are structural: workload, expectations, conditions and treatment.
WHAT THAT MEANS
Encouraging resilience while leaving the causes unchanged achieves nothing.
WHAT TO TREAT THIS CATEGORY AS
