Creating an Employee Wellness Programme (Paperback)

This important new book looks at the creation of a holistic health and wellness programme in the workplace. When it is clear that an organisation's or a business's main asset is its working people - at every level - then a programme designed to keep tham fit and in excellent health must be to the benefit of all concerned. This book examines every aspect of employee wellness and how it relates to organisational strategy and culture as well as its relevance to home and family life and lifestyle. It covers such relevant topics as weight management and nutrition; the principles of smoking cessation; what is a healthy environment; the principles of stress management; the available resources for creating and maintaining workplace wellness; and the wide range of available services for screening, monitoring and education. The subject matter of this book is of relevance to everybody, male and female, who has even the slightest concern for personal wellness and a wish to maintain a balanced life, in mind, body and spirit. It is a book for employers and employees. Laurel Alexander is a trainer, consultant and business author, specialising in the IT and small business sectors.
