Abstract
Earlier chapters in this book have focused on research and evidence. We’ve considered issues such as how organizations should take a strategic approach to health and wellbeing (discussed in more detail below), make assessments of wellbeing regularly, and take a view of employee engagement that includes wellbeing. This chapter is more practical and rather than reviewing research findings and introducing new ideas and concepts, it provides guidance on how to take a strategic and practical approach to improving and sustaining PWB in an organization.
