Summary:

"This timely book offers a review of the current research and literature around creating a healthy organisation. Providing an informative guide of the field, it presents cutting-edge international research, which addresses the key areas of consideration for organisations as well as the areas in which they need to challenge organisational perceptions and innovate. Chapters present both theoretical and practical guidance, covering important topics such as diversity, health and safety, organisational perceptions and learning, and explore the psychological advantages and unique challenges of developing a healthy organisation. Explaining how to use evidence-based practice to develop, implement and evaluate change at different scales and paces, the authors focus on the organisation, the individual, or a combination of both. It highlights the importance of context and process in interventions and the value of locally tailored interventions for the sustainability of practice. This will be a helpful read for management scholars wishing to gain a better understanding of the nature of healthy organisations. Written in a transferable style, it would also assist government officials, policy makers and management of any sector in both developed and emerging economies."-- Provided by publisher.
