| Summary |
This is the first book in a new series which highlights the relationship between work, well-being and stress and helps identify and improve the climate and health of work organizations. Bringing together contributions from chief medical officers and human resource executives, from world-leading companies (including Nestle Rowntree, ICI/Zeneca, Marks & Spencer, and Scottish and Newcastle Breweries), the book provides 'good practice' examples of what public- and private-sector companies can do in 'Creating Healthy Work Organizations'. Each of these examples explores a different innovation, including organizational stress audits, a programme for controlling alcohol abuse, improving the mental health of employees, and job re-design. The experience and practice of these blue-chip companies in building the foundations for a healthy and more productive working environment will provide a blueprint for many other companies world wide |
