Furthermore, the concept of decent lives is explicated, emphasizing the importance for individuals to have a sense of meaning in their lives at work and in life more broadly. A strength-based primary prevention approach is highlighted for building healthy communities, healthy organizations, and healthier societies and thereby enhancing access to decent work and decent lives for all.
