Promoting Wellbeing@Work Project

The Promoting Wellbeing@Work project investigates the role of the workplace as a setting in which to promote health and well-being.

The project is aimed at helping organisations develop a more pro-active approach to improving the health and wellbeing of their staff. It will assess the impact of health management programmes on organisational and employee performance, which includes not only their effects on direct measures of productivity, but also on areas of attendance management, employee well-being and organisational climate.

A focus of the project is to explore the contextual issues (for example, communication, leadership, nature of industry) that influence the successful introduction of workplace health interventions. Interventions include stress management, return-to-work processes and procedures, lifestyle factors such as physical activity and nutrition, and occupational health provision.

The results of this project will be published in 2009.
