<\/p>\n

In commemoration of International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day (IWMD) on 28 April 2026, ITUC-Asia Pacific, with support from FES Philippines, warmly invites all affiliates to join a regional webinar on psychosocial risks and organising for workers\u2019 safety and health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the region, many workers face growing pressures at work \u2013 from excessive workloads and unpredictable hours to harassment, job insecurity, isolation, and digital surveillance. These conditions can harm workers\u2019 health and well-being, leading to stress, anxiety, burnout, and other psychosocial harms. Psychosocial risks are often felt most by workers already facing discrimination and exclusion, including women, migrant workers, young workers, LGBTIQ+ workers, Indigenous workers, workers with disabilities, and those in informal and platform economies.<\/p>\n

In this context, this webinar will bring together unions across the region to share experiences, highlight organising strategies, and discuss how addressing psychosocial risks can strengthen worker protection and union action.<\/p>\n

This two-hour session is designed to be highly interactive, ensuring that participants are not just listeners but active contributors. The webinar will include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Live interactive activities<\/b>\u00a0to capture workers\u2019 experiences and perceptions of psychosocial risks in real time<\/li>\n
  2. Union voices from different sectors and contexts<\/b>\u00a0sharing concrete organising experiences addressing psychosocial risks and their impacts on workers and workplaces<\/li>\n
  3. Small breakout discussions<\/b>\u00a0where participants can exchange experiences and reflect on organising opportunities around psychosocial risks<\/li>\n
  4. Collective reflection and synthesis<\/b>\u00a0to identify key demands, organising lessons, and messages for the regional IWMD campaign<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hearing from workers across different sectors and contexts will help deepen our understanding of how psychosocial risks affect workers and workplaces and strengthen our collective efforts to ensure safer and healthier working conditions for all.<\/p>\n
