In a globalized economy where work is increasingly tenuous, the safety, health, and well-being of workers has become a matter of some urgency for organizational leaders, and an area of intense focus for researchers and practitioners. The Total Worker Health amp reg initiative of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), targets policies, programs, and practices that address risks to worker safety, health and well-being in both the physical and organizational work environment, as well as beyond the workplace. Chapters in this book cover organizational approaches for implementing integrative prevention programs for addressing these problems. This includes applications for diverse worker populations, such as workers in healthcare settings, construction, corrections, and manufacturing for aging workers who may have multiple chronic health conditions and, for workers employed in small businesses. Chapters also provide evidence of program effectiveness for addressing work conditions that impact mental health, fatigue and sleep, and work-life conflict. This volume is for occupational safety and health professionals, human resource managers, policymakers, and organizational trailblazers who understand that ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of workers is an essential best business practice.

This book was developed for the 2005 International Stress Management Association Conference in Brazil. The original book was recently published in Portuguese, but because of the popularity of the topics and the world-renowned stress scholars who contributed chapters, we are very pleased to have the opportunity to publish this work in English. A book on the subject is intended to be an additional tool containing information on stress and ways of dealing with pressures and demands, because we know that the level of stress will continue to increase. We believe that only through information—and here you will be able to find the experience and opinion of some of the greatest and best professionals of the world in this field—people will manage to live better and more balanced lives. This is what ISMA-BR wishes and hopes for. Have a good reading. This volume provides a series of comprehensive summaries of what is now a fast-growing literature aimed at understanding the causes, effects, and prevention of stress in the workplace. It begins with three chapters on different sources of stress at work, ranging from organizational factors to attributes of workers themselves.
