Abstract

The management of employee mental health in the workplace is essential. Good leadership by employers can increase employees' productivity and directly improve their quality of life. This study explores the use of more objective evaluators in formulating employers' action plans on workplace psychosocial risks. This survey was conducted using an employer practice evaluation form (Amalan Majikan: AM). Seventy-seven employers have filled out this survey voluntarily. Seven employers (9.1%) received an excellent result equivalent to five stars rating. This rating can be used as a reference for employers' practice managing psychosocial risk in the workplace.

Keywords: Psychosocial risk; Workplace management; Employers practice; SKiPP
