The “psychologically healthy” workplace has received much public attention in recent years. But how exactly can a psychologically healthy workplace be created and maintained? What steps can organizations take, without sacrificing the bottom line, to build a culture that optimizes long-term value for employees, management, and shareholders alike? In this book, top scholars focus on the complex interplay between employee and organizational outcomes across five key intervention areas, including:
• Employee involvement—fostering creativity and autonomy of employees, and encouraging involvement in organizational decision-making);
•Work-life balance—providing employees increased flexibility in when, where and how often they work, as well as assistance in navigating life challenges outside of work;
•Employee growth and development—career development and programs to increase competencies;
•Employee recognition—monetary and non-monetary awards in response to significant achievements; and
•Health and safety—promoting healthy behaviors alongside prevention, assessment, and treatment of potential health problems.
