CAN I GET A CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK ON THE ESSAY BELOW?

I think there a number of factors that contribute to the communication of worker rights in the workplace. The size of the company is a big factor, a big box company for example will key in on communicating these worker rights - at the very least. They are legislated to communicate these rights, as there are bigger responsibilities and liabilities to cover. However, It's important to consider that communication at the start of employment is where it is communicated the most, employers go through this copy-paste training to make sure 'they are aware of their rights' but beyond that is it rarely supported or communicated with unless something were to happen that warrants that discussion. A smaller company in change, may continue communication throughout the employment as they work to build strong, long-lasting relationships where the employees are less disposable.

Are psychological rights a natural evolution of basic safety rights or too much to ask of employers?

Psychological rights are indeed a natural evolution of basic safety rights, so no, it is not too much to ask of employees as mental health has plenty to do with the effectiveness of someone performing their work. Mental health has a direct impact on physical health and wellness if issues persist. I think where it differs is when employees who try to submit claims for long-tenured stress, or those with a long latency period and acute events. What isn't too much to ask, is if there is a preventable stressor to an employee, is to address it before it has a long-lasting effect on mental health.

Are there ways that employers can be proactive in providing support?

I think one of the most important thing an employer can do in providing support is to give recognition where it deserves. Employees want to feel like more than just a number and receive their flowers for hard work that they do. Based on the New Voluntary Psychological standard, recognition is the 7th factor that helps support employees. Through this, other factors can be achieved such as quality leadership, clear respect, clear support, positive influences, all while providing psychological protection.
