Abstract
There is a need for an organizational approach that ensures occupational mental health promotion with sustainable effects. The improvement of work environment is the organizational approach to promoting workers' physical and mental health and their productivity. Active participation of workers is crucial to the sustainable and effective improvement of work environment. We developed MIRROR and WIN as questionnaires that were constructed from the positive items focused on workers' needs in order to facilitate their active participation and constructive consideration to improve the work environment. Studies on the relationship between psychosocial work environments, reduction of work stress, and mental health suggest that improving an organizational climate through PDCA cycle utilizing the questionnaires, contributes to the promotion of workers' physical and mental health and their productivity. The task for the future is to popularize not only the reactive mental health care but also evidence-based proactive stress management.
