Summary:

Workplace Well-being is a complete guide to understanding and implementing the principles of a psychologically healthy workplace for psychologists and other practitioners. Grounded in cutting-edge theory and research, it introduces the core components of psychologically healthy workplaces, including health and safety, leadership, employee involvement, development, recognition, work-life balance, culture, and communication. In addition to reviewing the theory and research for these principles, the contributors delve into practical concerns with coverage of best practices, case studies, and proven implementation techniques. The contributors integrate both traditional and contemporary views of healthy workplaces, discussing factors that influence employees' physical safety, physical health, and psychological health. They also address important contextual issues, such as the role of unions, the importance of leadership, healthy workplaces in small businesses, respectful workplace cultures, and corporate social responsibility. Drawing together the leading scholars and practitioners from around the world, this book incorporates the latest theory and research, while providing practical examples and actions to effect organizational change.
