The contributions in Creating Healthy Workplaces include a number
of interventions that relate the efforts undertaken by researchers
and organizations together, to reduce stress and improve the mental
and physical health of employees through positive change
initiatives. Those working in the field of occupational stress have
received criticism that too much emphasis has been placed on
negative issues and that positive initiatives have been largely
ignored. With the growing influence of the positive movement, this
book explores the implications of using a positive approach as
opposed to a stress management one and compares the types of
interventions they each require. From a positive perspective, there
is a need to understand the characteristics of healthy, thriving,
and flourishing people and organizations. This book explores the
implications of using a positive approach as opposed to a stress
management one. Some of the interventions described in Creating
Healthy Workplaces target individuals and their attitudes and
behaviours, others target workplace relationships, work units and
the wider organization. Outcomes such as reduced occurrences of
smoking, obesity, depression, elevated blood pressure, accidents
and workplace injuries, presenteeism, absence and staff turnover
are reported. The factors associated with the success of these
interventions are identified and advice is given as to how
interested individuals and organizations might proceed to develop
worksite interventions on their own.
