Promoting Health and Well-being in the Workplace

About this book

Summary:"The workplace is where almost two thirds of adults spend almost two thirds of their waking time. Though traditional, statutorily-driven approaches to risk management have been demonstrably effective in reducing the number of injuries and sickness in recent years, psychological and physical health issues are still rife in the modern-day workforce. Work-related sickness and injury absence, and the economic cost implications involved, are having a detrimental effect not just on employees and employers, but on the wider community."--Page 4 of book cover
