Description
Workplace wellbeing has become a critical focus for organizations aiming to foster a healthy, productive, and resilient workforce. As companies recognize the significant impact of employee wellbeing on performance, engagement, and retention, understanding the practices, challenges, and deterrents in this area is essential. Effective strategies for promoting workplace wellbeing encompass a range of initiatives, from mental health support and flexible work arrangements to creating an inclusive, supportive work culture. However, many organizations face obstacles like inadequate resources, mental health stigmas, and resistance to change, which can hinder the implementation of these strategies. Further research may help organizations understand how best to implement workplace wellbeing into their business operations.
Practices, Challenges, and Deterrents in Workplace Wellbeing: Strategies for Building Resilient and Thriving Workplaces explores strategies related to employee wellbeing and positive workplace culture. It addresses challenges that may deter businesses from implementing better mental health strategies, and offers solutions for employee resilience, resource development, and inclusive culture building. This book covers topics such as mental health, sociology, and employee wellbeing, and is a useful resource for sociologists, psychologists, business owners, administrators, academicians, and researchers.
