En god cirkel : En kvalitativ studie om systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete i praktiken.

Sammanfattning: This study is a qualitative interview study consisting of twelve semi-structured interviews, conducted in ten different organizations. The purpose of this thesis is to study and shed light on how systematic workplace health promotion is carried out, with the employee survey as a starting point. During 2016, new regulations came into force, clarifying employers’ increased responsibilities for staff’s workplace health situation. The collected data were thematized and subsequently analyzed with a deductive approach. The results suggest that the systematic work generally starts with a situation analysis, often in the form of an employee survey, but that the studied organizations then proceed in very different ways. Common to those engaged in an active workplace health promotion is that the work is structured in an outer and an inner cycle. In the outer cycle, inventory, planning, monitoring and evaluation occur. In the inner cycle practical work is performed, such as employee surveys, feedback of results, focus areas with desired position and workshops, as well as a work plan which is incorporated in the business plan. These two cycles are connected, but are worked at independently of each other.
