I then will provide several evidence-based recommendations from the organizational psychology literature about how to create an organizational climate that supports employees' safety, health, and well-being.

The role of organizational climate in creating a safe and healthy work environment

A now large body of research has investigated the role of organizational climate in creating a safer and healthier workplace. In this presentation, I will introduce the general idea of organizational climate, differentiate climate from related concepts, and describe applications of organizational climate research specifically with regard to safety and health concerns. I then will provide several evidence-based recommendations from the organizational psychology literature about how to create an organizational climate that supports employees' safety, health, and well-being.
