Managers play a pivotal role in fostering a healthy workplace culture and supporting employees experiencing mental health problems. However, many managers lack the confidence, skills, and knowledge needed to effectively address these issues. In this presentation, I will introduce a novel World Health Organization (WHO) intervention designed to equip managers with practical tools and strategies to address and prevent mental health problems in the workplace. Additionally, I will share findings from an online cross-sectional study conducted to validate and refine outcome measures for an upcoming randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the intervention's effectiveness in Dutch small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).
