The Psychologically Healthy Workplace: Building a Win-Win Environment for Organizations and Employees

By Matthew J. Grawitch and David W. Ballard

The "psychologically healthy" workplace has received much public attention in recent years. But how exactly can a psychologically healthy workplace be created and maintained? What steps can organizations take, without sacrificing the bottom line, to build a culture that optimizes long-term value for employees, management, and shareholders alike? In this book, top scholars focus on the complex interplay between employee and organizational outcomes across five key intervention areas, including: * Employee involvement--fostering creativity and autonomy of employees, and encouraging involvement in organizational decision-making); *Work-life balance--providing employees increased flexibility in when, where and how often they work, as well as assistance in navigating life challenges outside of work; *Employee growth and development--career development and programs to increase competencies; *Employee recognition--monetary and non-monetary awards in response to significant achievements; and *Health and safety--promoting healthy behaviors alongside prevention, assessment, and treatment of potential health problems.
