Innovation platform

The H-WORK Innovation Platform, named the “Mental-health-at-Work Platform”, leverages the collective knowledge from various Work Packages within the H-WORK project. These encompass the creation of the Assessment Toolkit, Intervention Toolkit, and Evaluation Toolkit, along with the development of communication, dissemination, and policy recommendations activities.

The primary goal of the Platform is to enhance mental health in workplaces across Europe by guiding key decision-makers, such as employers, managers, occupational health and safety and human resources professionals, in effectively promoting the mental well-being of their workforce. This is accomplished through the provision of assessment, intervention, and evaluation interactive tools, as well as offering policy briefs and economic calculation solutions for mental health interventions.

It comprises three main sections:

1) The Interactive tools

The three tools are accessible with a simple login, where users need to provide their email address to receive a personal code. Access to the tools is free, and no personal data is collected. The login is designed solely for the purpose of saving the users’ answers.

2) The H-WORK Roadmap
