being and safety outcomes
• Actions and priorities for healthy work
• Managing interpretations, expectations and
other challenges
– case studies

Challenges, Hindrances, Threats &
Resources
• Different risk profiles and management
strategies for each
• Context is critical! In different industries /
organisations, different things are perceived
as challenges, hindrances and threats
– Merits of profiling your organisation
![Page 13: Ben Searle - Macquarie University - Improving workplace well-being by resourcing your "resources"](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052617/54841ee1b4af9fb55d8b4625/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Actions and priorities for healthy work
Maintenance
1. Monitor threats,
hindrances, demands
and resources
2. Strive to maintain
existing resources
3. Consider new resources
to develop
Improvement
1. Manage threats
2. Introduce / enhance
appropriate resources
3. Manage hindrances
4. Manage challenges

Which resources do I need?
A matter of fit
• Tailored approaches
– What matches your biggest problem?
– Problem diagnosis & needs analysis
• Fit guidelines
– Match by level (Searle, in review)
– “Triple match principle” (De Jonge & Dormann, 2003)

Summary
• Many aspects of work can affect health,
engagement, safety and other behaviour
• Resources are critical to prevention,
improvement and recovery
– consistently stronger effects on engagement and
resilience, but also affect fatigue, burnout, & safety
– often a larger range of options, especially pre-crisis
