Synopsis

Exposure to psychosocial risks at work, resulting from inadequate working conditions, negatively
affects people's well-being in organizations, often extending to the family dimension of workers' lives. The Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) has been widely used to identify  organizational psychosocial risks. Its medium version aims to respond to new trends in the world of work, which makes it suitable for diagnosing psychosocial risks in organizations. Transposing diagnosis into intervention, however, can pose some difficulties for HR managers in terms of what kind of practices can be structured to reduce and/or eliminate these risks. This paper aims to present good practices identified in literature for preventing and managing the 31 risks divided into seven domains evaluated by COPSOQ III, medium version. It serves as a tool for effective interventions that promote employee well-being in the organizational context.
