Workplace mental health: Aligning employer incentives with societal benefit

工作场所是一个未被充分利用的改善心理健康的平台。这对医疗工作者来说是一个特别紧迫的问题。该项目旨在调查鼓励雇主创造精神健康工作场所的方法。通过开创性地使用经济方法，该项目期望产生关于阻碍雇主行动的相互冲突的激励机制的急需知识。预期结果包括潜在政策改革将如何影响雇主行为的证据，以及他们如何看待工作场所心理健康倡议的物有所值。通过告知成功的政策变化，该项目应该改善员工福利并提高生产力，这将使雇主、员工和社会受益。

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.
