    Why?

    It is crucial for direct supervisors to fully comprehend their obligations regarding the well-being of employees. It is equally important for them to be able to translate these obligations into concrete action steps and communicate these actions in a clear and consistent manner. This way, all members of management contribute to an active prevention policy on well-being in the workplace.
