title: High demand, low-control jobs reduce productivity and increase workplace disability costs.
abstract: Workplace behavioral risk management methods build on EAP core technologies to help employers improve productivity and reduce direct and indirect costs of behavioral conditions. Current research suggests that restructuring high-demand, low-control jobs may enhance productivity and reduce disability costs. The author suggests that the use of appropriate social supports and coping-skills training will further offset the damaging consequences of high-demand, low-control jobs.
