A influência dos programas de bem-estar e das diretrizes da NR-1 no desempenho e na satisfação dos colaboradores: saúde mental e física, gerenciamento de riscos psicossociais e redução do absenteísmo.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of wellness programs and the guidelines of Regulatory Standard No. 1 (NR-1) on employee performance, satisfaction, and absenteeism within the organizational environment. In light of current changes and the post-pandemic rise in psychosocial disorders, people management has sought to strategically integrate initiatives focused on physical and mental health. The general objective of this work is to demonstrate how these initiatives and the proper management of psychosocial risks directly impact employee efficiency and productivity. Methodologically, the research is characterized as a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, conducted through a bibliographic and documentary review, focusing on the analysis of institutional reports from major Brazilian companies such as Natura, Banco do Brasil, and Solar Coca-Cola. The results show that the implementation of corporate quality-of-life programs, psychological support, and practices aligned with the NR-1 Risk Management Program (PGR) generates highly positive impacts on employee performance within these companies. Key observed effects include increased satisfaction levels, a strengthened organizational climate, and a significant reduction in absenteeism and leaves of absence resulting from occupational stress and burnout. The study concludes that investing in the worker's holistic well-being goes beyond mere welfare provision, serving as an indispensable strategic tool for corporate sustainability, talent attraction, and the maximization of organizational results.
