Coexphal's Joint Prevention Service (SPM) has brought a psychosocial risk prevention model to Almería's agricultural and packing companies based on practical workshops for staff and middle managers. The head of this service, María Ángeles Álvarez Vázquez, presented this experience at the III SST Meeting in the agricultural sector, dedicated to psychosocial risks, as detailed by the association.
The sessions combine brief content with group dynamics and practical exercises. Work is done on stress and emotion management, self-esteem, communication, interpersonal relationships, teamwork and work organization.
Exercises for day to day
The activities include dynamics to improve relationships and communication, exercises to identify situations that generate tension and seek alternatives, and simple breathing, relaxation and positive visualization techniques. The aim is for participants to have tools they can apply in their day to day.
Workload and work organization are also addressed, so that people identify situations of overload, communicate difficulties and learn to ask for support or share loads when necessary. These actions are complemented by the KPH system, to objectively analyze workload, and the Tension Map, which allows identifying, together with workers, the points in the process where haste, interruptions, overloads or conflicts appear.
At the meeting it was noted that psychosocial prevention must go beyond assessment and the report, and move towards intervention and the active participation of workers. Coexphal maintains that this model moves from detecting to acting and from working for people to working with them.
