Workplace mental health: Aligning employer incentives with societal benefit

工作场所是改善心理健康的一个未充分利用的平台。这对医疗保健工作者来说是一个特别紧迫的问题。该项目旨在研究如何鼓励雇主创造精神健康的工作场所。通过率先使用经济方法，该项目预计将产生急需的知识，相互冲突的激励措施，阻碍雇主的行动。预期结果包括潜在的政策改革将如何影响雇主的行为，以及他们如何看待工作场所心理健康举措的资金价值。通过告知成功的政策变化，该项目应改善员工福利并提高生产力，这将有利于雇主，员工和社会。

The workplace is an underutilised platform to improve mental health. This is a particularly urgent problem for the healthcare workforce. This project aims to investigate ways to encourage employers to create mentally healthy workplaces. By pioneering use of economic methods, this project expects to generate much-needed knowledge on conflicting incentives that are hindering employer action. Expected outcomes include evidence on how potential policy reforms would affect employers' behaviour, and how they see value for money of workplace mental health initiatives. By informing successful policy change, the project should improve employee wellbeing and increase productivity, which will benefit employers, employees, and society.
