Supercharging Your Workforce: Why Wellness Works and a Proposal for How To Implement a Well@Work Plan (TM) at your Organization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798598854549)

Are you interested in wellness at work, employee well-being, and how to keep employees productive, healthy, and happy? We are, too. The science of helping organizations grow their people resources in a way that helps the people grow while also aligning them with the organization so that as the people grow, the organization also grows is known as Organizational Development. Typically, this area is considered the arena of Industrial and Organizational Psychologists, but as we work to adapt our organizations to new generations of employees with different goals and priorities, this arena has grown in relevance to the everyday work that frontline people from CEOs, to HR managers, to "Shared Services" or "People" managers are doing. One Fortune 500 Company found that one employee program provided a staggering 1000% ROI. While extreme, this example demonstrates that strategic wellbeing programs that look at the overall needs of employees rather than focusing solely on health can deliver great returns. Is your organization capitalizing on this?Hi We are Dr. Alice Vo Edwards and Dr. Arezou Harraf. You can read more about us and our work at the end of this book, but suffice to say, we have over 30 years of organizational development and HR management experience under our belts, and we want to help you help your organization thrive. This is not a fluff book that's going to talk about lots of touchy-feely stuff, get you excited, then leave you floundering - wondering how the hell to implement this cool stuff in your organization. This is not a cotton-candy book. This book is pure protein. We're going to help you exercise some mental muscle gaining an understanding of the overall process, and provide our proposed method for how you can create a plan that is based on science, focused on iterative evaluation, and being able to demonstrate return on investment for the time and money you put into developing it. If you already have workplace wellbeing plans in place, using our methods of planning and evaluating your current programs will also help you gain measurable, meaningful insights into your programs.This book is designed as an action-oriented instructional guide and workbook that can guide you, as the individual tasked with coming up with a plan for improvement for your organization. In it, yes, you will learn what other organizations have been doing, how it is scientifically valid and not just a waste of your company's money or a PR stunt, but you will also be walked through the process of identifying a business plan for what programs would be the best for you to try in your company, how to plan for success, how to evaluate how successful your program was, and how to report on the results so you look good, your program looks great, and you can add more and make it even better, next year.By the end of this book, you will: *Develop a better understanding of wellbeing*Understand organizational components that impact employees overall wellbeing*Understand different interventions that are useful in this realm*Learn how to measure and monitor employee wellbeing*Understand the strategic link between employee wellbeing and productivity*Learn to use the Well@WorkPlan(TM) Method
