Work Organization
Workplace organization involves how a job is set up or how a company manages and organizes work. After people get jobs, the way their workplace is set up can affect their physical and mental health. Safe workplaces can make employees work better, stay at their jobs longer, and earn more. Work organization is about the way a job is designed or the rules and management style of a company.[] The way work is organized, like having to work at night, can directly impact health. It can cause problems like not sleeping well or high blood pressure. It can also indirectly affect health by changing how people eat, sleep, and exercise.[,]
