Promoting workplace well-being[electronic resource] /edited by Neil Thompson and John Bates. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,c2009. - xxi, 229 p. :ill. ;22 cm.

Stress / N.Thompson -- Conflict, Aggression and Bullying / N.Thompson & L.Brooksbank -- Drug and Alcohol Problems / I.Madoc Jones -- MentalHealth Problems / S.Desai -- Racism / G.Singh -- Loss,Grief and Trauma / N.Thompson & S.Thompson -- Learning and Development / J.Bates -- Leadership / P.Gilbert -- Managing Sickness Absence / M.Tehan -- Women-friendly Workplaces / B.Metcalf -- Spirituality in the Workplace / B.Moss-- A United States Perspective / S.de Mello -- A Hong Kong Perspective/S.Ng -- An Australian Perspective / J.Bottomley -- A Greek Perspective / V.Ioakimidis -- An Indian Perspective / G.Prem Singh.

Bringing together contributors from a wide range of disciplines, countries and perspectives, this important new book provides a highly thought-provoking overview of the human dimension of the workplace. Organizations are increasingly recognising the need to take the well-being of their employees seriously. The more enlightened organizations are doingso because they appreciate that their most important resource really is their human resource - their people. Other organizations are beginning to address well-being issues because it is becoming increasingly clear that so many workplace problems stem from a lack of commitment to theneeds of the employees. Divided into three parts, it covers workplace problems, such as stress, bullying, conflict, alcohol and drug abuse, mental health problems and grief; as well as potential solutions, such as leadership, spirituality, and a focus on learning and development. This is essential reading for anyone committed to making the workplace a morehumane and effective place.
