How could the European Union and Australian systems inspire each other? Nota Bene: Various terms are used, often interchangeably, such as psychosocial factors (PFW), psychosocial hazards, psychosocial risks (PSR), psychosocial risk factors, work and organisational characteristics, job characteristics, job demands and resources, job strain, effort-reward imbalance, and occupational stressors.In the aftermath of the pandemic, in response to the new ways of working and the resulting new working conditions, there is an unprecedented focus on psychosocial factors at work (PFW) in the European Union (EU). Now, it is questioning the appropriateness of legislating on PFW through the preparation of the Spanish and the Belgium Presidencies, but also notably through the work of the European Parliament, the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), the institutes such as EU-OSHA and European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), and the influence of certain European scientific research (see EUROFOUND’S surveys and ESNER2). However, the PFW legal approach is diverse in the EU Member States. Then arises the question of harmonisation through minimum legislation and a framework.In Australia, the State of New South Wales in 2017, and then, in particular, with regard to the 2021 Boland Report, the State of Victoria, and the Federal State through the Work Health and Safety law, have made progress on the legal approach to PFW. The subject is therefore highly topical in EU and Australian systems. This research aims to demonstrate how the two approaches could influence each other in order to produce the most appropriate texts possible.Hence, the presentation will describe how UE law and its Member States address PFW, and how the Australian legal system tackles them. From this comparison, the objective is to bring out strengths and weaknesses of both systems in order to get ways to strengthen them with regard to their possible mutual influence.Question 1: Who is the centre of the story and how were they impacted?Question 2: What perspectives are reflected in your abstract? What unique/diverse cultural approach can you share?Creating a common space for researchers, actors and stakeholders around occupational health issues should foster collaborative projects. The hosting of researchers from various disciplines and nationalities is an opportunity to support expertise on specific subjects and to make possible a space for exchanges between researchers and stakeholders, but also for responses to national, European and international calls for research projects.Question 3: What will your audience learn from your presentation? Are there practical examples, lessons, tools or methods, or other resources to enable action that participants can take away?The consideration of occupational health issues is stimulated by the aim of reaching a global, collective and organisational performance objective which requires content and an enrichment of knowledge to better understand the system in which we evolve.< Réduire
