People with chronic health conditions make up a large and integral part of the workforce. While few would deny that chronic health conditions can create challenges for both workers and their employing organizations, there are misperceptions about how best to support affected employees. Typical supports that organizations have historically used (including wellness programs and return-to-work programs) are insufficient to meet the under-recognized needs of employees with chronic health conditions. This book translates research and provides practical solutions and steps for implementing a more proactive, integrated approach to help leaders and frontline managers better support their employees, and to help organizations gain a competitive advantage through attracting and retaining valued employees. Chronic Health Conditions and Work provides background information on chronic health conditions, disabilities, the legal landscape, and typical supports that organizations have used, along with information on complex and common work-health challenges faced by employees, managers, and organizations. The book then provides proactive solutions that leaders, frontline managers, human resource professionals, coaches, consultants, and other practitioners can enact at the levels of the organization (culture, benefits, policies), the job (autonomy, flexibility, supervisor support, job accommodations), and the individual employee (coaching, mentoring, group programs).Readers will develop a comprehensive understanding of both the importance of, and how to implement, changes at all three of these levels to decrease stigma and promote employee well-being, inclusion, and work ability, and will gain tools to help them make a business case for taking a more proactive approach to supporting employees with chronic health conditions.

Work can benefit workers' health and well-being by offering a sense of meaning, social connections and a source of income. Yet an increasing number of workers report experiencing stress in their jobs, caused by job insecurity, working long hours, excessive workload, and the like, with significant implications for both mental and physical health.Designing, Implementing and Evaluating Sustainable Interventions in Organizations offers a systematic approach to fostering worker health and well-being through participatory organizational interventions. These types of interventions address the underlying root causes of workplace stressors and give workers a voice in prioritizing needed changes. Synthesizing evidence of best practices, this book describes the six intervention phases included in the Nielsen Intervention Model: Preparation, Evaluation Planning, Screening, Action Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. Two case studies provide concrete methods and tools and illustrate the ways in which context can require variations in planning, implementation, and evaluation. The book also engages in a broad examination of the implications of social policies and regulatory environments for intervention practices. This evidence-based and step-by-step approach to build healthy organizational work environments is an essential toolkit for improving well-being on the job.
