Summary

1. This text highlights a number of case studies regarding the creation of healthy work organizations. The contributors concentrate particularly on examples from industry of stress reduction programmes in the workplace and other approaches to improving positive mental well-being at work.
2. "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."--BOOK JACKET.
