Beskrivning
This book bridges the gap between theory and practice, incorporating real-world case studies to show how organisations and leaders can adapt after the global unrest and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and more recent challenges. Drawing from expert opinions across the world to highlight the current challenges and opportunities within this sector, it explores how these ideas can be effectively applied within the workplace.The book covers a wealth of topical and relevant themes that include defining wellbeing in a modern world, toxic leadership, mental health first aid, the application of positive psychology, and what the ‘new normal’ might look like. Together, these contributions offer a rich look into how Occupational Health and Wellbeing practices have developed, struggled and thrived. The COVID-19 pandemic forced many organisations to adapt fast and became the most significant accelerator in recent times for embracing, enhancing and improving employee health and wellbeing. Understanding this, the book demonstrates how Occupational Health and Wellbeing continues to rise on the corporate agenda as a key contributor to employee satisfaction, engagement and retention, increased financial stability and overall organisational success. The book is essential reading for senior executives, leaders and professionals involved in occupational health, human resources, health, safety and wellbeing, people support, people development, employee assistance, counselling as well as students within organisational and occupational psychology.

The authors have brought together a very wide range of insights and research from the fields of occupational health and wellbeing to provide practice guidance to us all. This should be a major contribution to wellbeing strategies in every organisation."Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD)"This compilation is an essential resource for anyone concerned with people, safety, and psychological security in the workplace. The editors have assembled a world class team of global scholars and practitioners who are knowledgeable authorities in their respective domains and locations."James Campbell Quick, Distinguished University Professor, Emeritus, The University of Texas at Arlington, USAColonel (Ret.), United States Air Force"This is a most refreshing and at times challenging book. It sees Occupational Health as linked to the well-being of the worker. This linkage is a relatively new and welcome proposition. It has been accelerated by the pandemic. Occupational Health is now more visible and seen to be of critical importance to many more employers. Occupational Health practices connected to well-being can be seen to encompass a broader conceptualisation of prevention health promotion and management of workplace hazards."Professor Dame Carol Black, Expert Adviser on Health & Work, National Health Service England & Public Health England
