This collaboration aims at creating a regulatory framework focused on promoting mental health and preventing work-related mental disorders. The regulatory developments have been based on the understanding of the national reality provided by national surveys on safety, health and working conditions conducted between 2007 and 2021. These surveys have served as a foundation for incorporating specific actions into the national health and safety at work plans. In addition to diagnostic work and the formulation of public policies, the country has made progress in developing technical tools for psychosocial assessment and intervention. However, there are still even more significant challenges when it comes to promoting the wellbeing of the vast majority of informal and independent workers. Therefore, setting up comprehensive actions in collaboration with government sectors that define public policies and with the general population in order to address this issue is a must. The article highlights the achievements and challenges faced by Colombia in the field of psychosocial management in the workplace and for self-employed individuals. It also offers some insights that describe the journey undertaken, aiming to share experiences with other countries and professionals who are moving in similar directions. Colombia ha incursionado en la consideración de los factores psi- cosociales en el marco de la gestión en la seguridad y salud en el trabajo desde 1984 gracias al trabajo conjunto entre el estado, la academia y el sector productivo para generar un cuerpo normativo orientado a la promoción de la salud mental y la prevención de tras- tornos mentales relacionados con el trabajo. Los desarrollos normativos se han apoyado por el conocimiento de la realidad nacional aportado por las encuestas nacionales de condiciones de seguridad y salud en el trabajo que se han realizado entre los años 2007 y 2021, las cuales han servido de base para incluir acciones específicas dentro de los planes nacionales de seguridad y salud en el trabajo. Además del trabajo diagnóstico y la definición de políticas públicas, el país ha avanzado en la creación de instrumentos téc- nicos para la evaluación y la intervención psicosocial. Sin embargo, son aún mayores los retos que se enfrentan para fomentar el bienestar laboral de la inmensa mayoría de trabajadores informales e independientes, población frente a la cual es necesario establecer acciones integrales con los sectores estatales que definen las políticas públicas, y con la población en general. El artículo presenta los logros y desafíos que enfrenta Colombia frente a la gestión psicosocial en los centros de trabajo y en el trabajo por cuenta propia, y aporta algunas ideas que describen el proceso recorrido, con las cuales se busca compartir experiencias con otros países y profesionales que avanzan en direcciones similares.
