• Description:
  The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Healthy Work Design and Well-Being (HWD) Program seeks to improve the design of work, work environments, and management practices in order to advance worker safety, health, and well-being. HWD partners with industry, labor, trade associations, professional organizations, and academia to accomplish its goals. Current priorities include: improving the organization of work in order to reduce job stress; advancing the safety and health of workers in non-standard work arrangements, such as temporary staffing agency, contract, and gig arrangements; and protecting workers from the adverse health and safety consequences of shift work, long work hour schedules, and other factors that contribute to work-related fatigue. ... HWD provides guidance on organizational approaches for designing, implementing, and evaluating policies, programs, and practices that comprehensively address worker safety and health, including through Total Worker Health.
