by Lynda Macdonald (Author)

Synopsis

Fit, healthy, stress-free workers are more productive than diseased, injured or stressed ones. They are also much less likely to sue you. The well-being of your employees isn't just about your potential legal liability, it's also about productivity, work-life balance and creating the sort of working environment that is essential if you want to become an employer of choice. Lynda Macdonald's practical and comprehensive look at all aspects of this issue goes beyond simple compliance. This book not only tells you how to avoid being sued, it gives you everything you need to implement positive measures that will improve your employees' health, attendance and performance. The business case for looking after your employees' wellbeing is compelling - here is a clear, comprehensive and extremely practical guide to getting it right.

Employee wellness program's are set to overtake flexible working practices as the focus of companies' attempts to drive up staff morale and productivity. People Management I am not aware of any other publication which deals with all these topics in such a comprehensive way. I would be interested in purchasing this book and would expect to pay [pound]30 - [pound]50. HR Team Leader, a transport quango The book covers relevant topics that I deal with everyday. Employee health and wellbeing rank highly as objectives, largely due to the effect on workload and problems that are caused when issues arise in this area. HR Manager, private sector SME The subject of employees' health and wellbeing is very important in my role as HR Manager, and forms part of my core objectives. The health of our employees is a high priority in my job, particularly as we have a high rate of employee sickness absence. I would definitely buy this book! In fact, if there is a reservation list, put my name on it. HR Manager, private sector
