Description
Content

Employee well-being has become the focus of many organizations and represents an employee’s mental, emotional, and physical health. Business leaders realize that poor mental health leads to burnout, low productivity, poor decision-making, and a lack of focus. As leaders look for ways to implement well-being programs, the United States Surgeon General has provided guidelines and a framework to help transform working environments and focus on employee well-being. This framework, outlined in this book, allows readers to create a work culture that promotes mental health and well-being.
