• Supporting research initiatives and strategic partnerships in coordination with other international organizations, national and regional policymakers and experts networks to support research, awareness raising, education, sharing of good practices, and development of global competencies. 
• Supporting competencies development of key stakeholders and translation of research into practice, by means of promoting education and training through wider application of ILO tools such as SOLVE and the Stress Checkpoints, and additional guidance and training tools including e-learning programmes in collaboration with key experts.
• Supporting the harmonisation of national lists of occupational diseases by providing further guidance on the basis of the ILO list of occupational diseases. 
• Supporting integration of psychosocial risk assessment and management in OSH management systems, and linking with sustainability of interventions.
