But should companies intervene with these individual problems? And if so, how? The Healthy Workplace says yes!

Companies that learn how to incorporate healthy habits and practices into the workday for their employees will see such an impressive ROI that they'll kick themselves for not starting these practices sooner.

  • Create a healthier, more energizing environment
  • Reduce stress to enhance concentration
  • Inspire movement at work

        A leading expert in workplace well-being, author Stringer knows workplace wellness because she has spent years developing it. Stringer tackles today's sedentary workplace habits by challenging employers to offer holistic wellness programs, with compelling reasons to do so, such as reduced absenteeism and higher productivity. Her approach is more than exercise programs and health coaches; she wants the employer and employee to focus on myriad wellness behaviors, including stress reduction, sleep, workplace design, and more. Readers will learn how pioneering wellness programs, like Apple's 30-minute meditation mantra and General Mills' mindfulness training program, shaped those companies' culture. She also found that simple initiatives, such as requiring employees to take vacations sans work, adding standing work stations, and improving stairways to encourage activity, yield positive results. This book offers solutions for managers, HR departments, and executives choosing strategies to prioritize employee health. A handy cheat sheet summarizes and ranks strategies outlined, and there is a suggested-reading list. Even employees will find this book engaging and be able to glean ideas to bring to their employers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
