Summary

This study tests a training program called ASCEND, developed by the World Health Organization, for supervisors in Dutch small and medium-sized businesses. The goal is to help supervisors better support their employees' mental health, reduce stigma, and improve workplace well-being. About 148 supervisors and their teams will take part, with half receiving the training first and the other half later. Researchers will measure changes in supervisor confidence, employee mental health, and company absenteeism.
