Abstract
Lai uzlabotu politiku un praksi, kas saistīta ar psihosociālo darba vidi un līdz ar to arī ar darbaspēka mentālo veselību, būtiska prasība ir nozaru sadarbība. Tāpēc projekta ietvaros projekta partneri no Igaunijas, Somijas, Latvijas, Norvēģijas un Polijas izveidoja valstu ekspertu kopienas, kurās strādāja veselības, darba aizsardzības, personāla un izglītības nozaru eksperti. Ekspertu kopienu galvenais mērķis ir atklāt konkrētas jomas, kurās nepieciešami uzlabojumi un ieteikt risinājumus. Katras valsts ekspertu kopiena izvēlējās tēmu, kas raksturo kādu no attiecīgās valsts būtiskākajām problēmām. Piemēram, migrējošo darba ņēmēju mentālā veselība Norvēģijā vai darba aizsardzības izglītība Somijā.
Projektā “MentalHealthMatters” ekspertu kopienas ir noskaidrojušas nepieciešamos uzlabojumus saistībā ar (1) politiku un regulējumu, kas attiecas uz mentālo veselību un darba dzīvi, (2) zināšanām un datiem, kas saistīti ar darbaspēka labklājību, un (3) darba devēju, vadītāju un darba aizsardzības speciālistu izglītību un kompetenci attiecībā uz psihosociālajiem faktoriem darbā. Šajā ziņojumā sniegti secinājumi par Latviju, kur galvenā uzmanība tika pievērsta darba devēju izpratnes par psihosociālajiem riskiem veicināšanai.
In order to improve policies and practices related to the psychosocial work environment and thus also to the mental health of the workforce, cross-sectoral cooperation is a key requirement. Therefore, within the framework of the project, project partners from Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Norway and Poland established national expert communities, which included experts from the health, occupational safety, human resources and education sectors. The main objective of the expert communities is to identify specific areas where improvements are needed and to suggest solutions. Each national expert community chose a topic that describes one of the most important problems in the respective country. For example, the mental health of migrant workers in Norway or occupational safety and health education in Finland.
In the MentalHealthMatters project, expert communities have identified the necessary improvements in (1) policies and regulations related to mental health and working life, (2) knowledge and data related to the well-being of the workforce, and (3) education and competence of employers, managers and occupational safety and health professionals regarding psychosocial factors at work. This report presents conclusions about Latvia, where the main focus was on promoting employers' awareness of psychosocial risks.
