Summary
This citizens’ initiative seeks to strengthen the prevention, reporting, and sanctioning of workplace harassment in Spain by promoting healthy leadership in public and private organizations. The central proposal is to periodically evaluate people in supervisory roles using transparent, measurable criteria regarding conduct, team climate, and respect for fundamental rights, in order to reduce harassment and other harmful practices at work.
It is inspired by global data—such as Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report—showing that healthy workplaces not only improve mental health, but also productivity and equity.
The goal is for this initiative to serve as a model for Spain, Europe, and other countries committed to dignified and safe work.
