Our ambition is to contribute to a sustainable working life through research that improves and maintains the employee's physical and mental health, well-being and workability through working life and retirement. We develop and implement initiatives that positively impact employees' physical and mental health and well-being, and investigate how this affects the workplace and the healthcare system at the societal level.
We have strong research expertise in musculoskeletal health and muscle and joint pain, in assessing occupational exposure and in developing individually tailored training interventions to several occupational groups.
We conduct and initiate high-quality interdisciplinary research and conduct studies on:
- Work demands, capacity and risk assessment of different occupational groups.
- Development and implementation of interventions that promote employee health and well-being, especially intervention with exercise and physical activity.
- Evaluation of short- and long-term effects of health promoting interventions.
- Evaluation of process and implementation into practice with a participatory approach.
