What if one of the most powerful levers to improve psychological health at work was also one of the most engaging?
Workplace autonomy has a direct impact on engagement, motivation, satisfaction… and even on teams’ ability to innovate, collaborate, and sustain performance over time.
To help organizations move from intention to action, we are launching a new toolkit that is comprehensive, practical, and science-based:
“Developing autonomy at work: taking concrete action to prevent psychosocial risks and enhance engagement.”
Available to affiliated employers only
Why focus on workplace autonomy?
Every day, employees assess:
- the level of control they have over their tasks
- their ability to make decisions
- the flexibility they have in organizing their work
- their opportunity to fully use their skills
- the space given to their ideas, creativity, and professional judgment
These perceptions directly shape their work experience… and their psychological well-being.
When autonomy is present and well-balanced:
- engagement and motivation increase
- trust and recognition are strengthened
- teams become more agile and innovative
- the work climate and collaboration improve
Conversely, a lack of autonomy can quickly lead to stress, overload, disengagement, frustration, and burnout.
A science-based toolkit designed for action:
This toolkit was developed using more than 30 scientific references, insights from practices observed around the world, and Global-Watch’s field expertise.
Most importantly, it was designed to be immediately useful in the workplace.
Inside, you will find:
- Clear and accessible explanations of workplace autonomy
- Real-world examples from organizations
- Practical, ready-to-use tools
- Exercises and assessment grids to take action quickly
- Intervention strategies tailored to HR professionals, managers, and employees
This toolkit is designed for HR professionals, managers, and employees alike.
It is available in both French and English.
