Promoting Wellbeing in the Workplace
Absenteeism, staff turnover, productivity and staff satisfaction are wellbeing-related concerns that many businesses struggle to overcome - and the costs of not doing so are surprisingly large.
Johnson & Johnson and CSR Europe launched this Laboratory to support companies in addressing the essential aspects of a wellbeing promotion strategy, such as prevention, identification and support, and reintegration in to the workplace. This work directly supports the European Commission's ‘European Pact for Mental Health and Well-being' (June 2008) which highlights the strong and direct links between mental and physical wellbeing and a competitive and responsible Europe.
The Wellbeing in the Workplace Laboratory will continue its work in 2009-2010 looking specifically at wellbeing at work for ageing employees. For more information on this please click here.
