We research methods to identify risks for ill-health and promote health, work ability and productivity in the workplace and in private life. There are great benefits to investing in work environment and health-related efforts for both the individual, the employer, society and the crucial thing is that results are quickly used and beneficial. We therefore also carry out implementation research where we investigate how we can effectively introduce new knowledge into different types of operations.

Academia, healthcare, corporate health, industry are the sectors we study. Young people, gender and managers are our special areas.

We aim to promote evidence-based practice in health promoting interventions at the workplace by:
Our research area includes organisational and social work environment, work-health work environment, work-health economics, and two main disease areas (musculoskeletal conditions and mental ill health) which are the two most prevalent causes of sickness absence and reduced workability.
The unit works actively to develop knowledge within occupational health and methods to promote occupational health. Research is conducted within collaboration with external partners, such as the occupational health services and employer representative partners from both the public and private sectors. In collaboration with other universities we have developed Kompetenscentret f枚r f枚retagsh盲lsa.
Finally, we are involved in teaching on master-and doctoral-level, for example within the master-program Work and health and the doctoral course Intervention- and implementation research.
