The processes of change in organizations are inevitable. Therefore, identifying psychosocial risks in a private company located in the city of Quito, has been an essential motivator to meet the needs of the company in the work environment of administrative and operational staff, in order to understand the condition of physical, mental and social health that employees have when performing their work, and thus to propose preventive strategies and continuous improvements that facilitate them to work in safe and healthy workplaces and workplaces. The research was carried out using a non-experimental design, of explanatory-descriptive scope, with a quantitative and cross-sectional approach. As an application instrument, the Psychosocial Risks questionnaire of the Ministry of Labor (2018) was used, which is composed of 58 questions, grouped by eight dimensions. The company's population participated with a total of 55 workers; however, 2 participants did not complete the instrument. The data collected were analyzed with the tabulation tool provided by the questionnaire itself. The general results show that 64% of employees perceive a low level of risk, 34% indicate a medium risk level, high risk level is decreased (2%). According to the results, we conclude with the development of a proposal for a psychosocial risk prevention plan for the benefit of workers, prioritizing an appropriate work environment in the company.
