An empirical evaluation of an innovative occupational stress intervention to improve the health and retention of high-risk employees.

职业压力每年给澳大利亚组织造成1.055亿美元的损失，占工作场所伤害的6.5%和18.4周的缺勤。该项目在一个州政府部门引入了职业压力干预措施，以改善经历过压力或极有可能提出压力索赔的雇员的健康和留任。干预将减少40%的职业压力成本，并将推广到其他公共和私人组织。该项目将展示澳大利亚雇主如何履行其法律和道德义务，保护雇员的心理健康，以期最终减少职业压力索赔的发生和经济后果。

Occupational stress costs Australian organisations $105.5m, accounts for 6.5% of workplace injuries and 18.4 weeks absenteeism, per annum. This project introduces an occupational stress intervention in a State Government Department to improve the health and retention of employees who have experienced stress or who are a high risk for submitting a stress claim. The intervention will reduce occupational stress costs by 40% and will be generalisable to other public and private organisations. The project will demonstrate how Australian employers can meet their legal and ethical obligations to protect employee's psychological health, with a view to ultimately reducing the occurrence and financial consequences of occupational stress claims.
