Psychosocial work environment should be highly prioritized in the organization’s daily agenda. The aim of this qualitative study was to find out how Human resources employees in the private sectors work with the psychosocial work environment issues. This study has a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews. A total of six Human resources employees were interviewed. The gathered data was analyzed through Braun & Clarke’s (2013) model for thematic analyze. The data from the interviews was transcribed and themes were created as a result. Three main categories were found; Human resource employee’s definition of psychosocial work environment, Human resource employee’s work with the psychosocial work environment and why the work with the psychosocial work environment is important. Within these three main chapters there are a few themes and sub themes. Factors that was found to be important were social support, good leadership and a welcoming culture in the organization. One of the conclusions with this study was that the organization’s work with the psychosocial work environment was relatively extensive but at the same time some flaws where found. Keywords: Psychosocial work environment, Human resource management, Proactive work, Social support.
