Well-being : productivity and happiness at work / Ivan Robertson and Cary Cooper.
This is a practically-oriented book giving advice and evidence-based guidance to organizations and individuals on how to improve and sustain employee well-being to realise its positive impact. High levels of psychological well-being amongst employees translate into good news for the organization, including lower sickness-absence levels, attraction and retention of talented people, and more satisfied customers, clients, or service users. People with higher levels of psychological well-being work better, live longer and have happier lives. Engagement and well-being can sustain each other and lead to a healthier and more productive organization, a win-win for employees and employers.
