Why take psychosocial risks seriously?

Stress, work overload, unresolved conflicts: psychosocial risks are the leading cause of absenteeism in Switzerland.

Burnout, disengagement, tension between colleagues… psychosocial risks set in silently and come at a high cost: sick leave, staff turnover and a loss of collective performance. Most situations could have been avoided if the warning signs had been recognised early.

The Swiss Labour Act (LTr, Art. 6) requires every employer to protect the mental health of its employees. Without documented measures, the organisation may be held liable.

  • 1 in 4 employees in Switzerland report a high level of stress at work
  • +30%​ absenteeism linked to psychosocial risks in organisations without a prevention programme

The content of this training course was designed with Swiss experts in psychosocial health at work.

20 minutes to learn how to react
to a warning sign.

Situations rooted in reality

Rather than sitting through a lecture on psychosocial risks, your employees experience real-life situations: a meeting that gets out of hand, a manager who misses the signs, a colleague who withdraws.

Specific focus sections for managers

How to spot the signs, how to raise the issue and where to signpost people when you manage a team.

Customisable for your organisation

The content can be customised to reflect your culture and your specific challenges (SCORM version only).
