"It is a universal principle that people have the right to the highest attainable standards of health. Without health at work a person cannot contribute to society and achieve well-being. If health at work is threatened, there is no basis for productive employment and socio-economic development. The burden of mental ill health is becoming highly relevant to the world of work. It has an important impact on people's well-being, reducing employment prospects and wages, with a deleterious effect on families' income and organizations' productivity, and causing high direct and indirect costs to the economy. In this complex context, the workplace is at the same time an important source of psychosocial risks and the ideal setting for addressing them with a view to protecting the health and well-being of workers through collective preventive measures. In times of change in the world of work, coping successfully with psychosocial risks in the workplace is essential for protecting the health and well-being of workers while enhancing the productivity of organizations."
