Wellness at Work by Catherine Steele

Wellness at Work by Catherine Steele

Acting as a guide for organisations and individuals to promote wellness and transform workplace cultures through lifestyle medicine, this book demonstrates the Well@Work framework.

In today’s fast-paced working environments, workplace health and wellness are often not prioritised, leading to employee burnout, absenteeism, and chronic illness. Employers and organisations need to balance the need for productivity with employee retention and wellness in the workplace. This book encompasses holistic approaches to well-being, addressing not only physical health but also mental and emotional resilience. The authors utilise their expertise in lifestyle medicine, occupational psychology, health coaching, and behaviour change science to provide clear, practical advice and day-by-by plans to support individuals, teams, and organisations in creating a vibrant, high-performance workplace. Drawing on their experiences as employees, managers, leaders, and professional health coaches, they present the latest scientific research together with examples from real organisations.

This book helps organisations maximise performance and employee wellness, whilst creating health and reducing chronic illness, facilitating healthy organisations from the roots up. It will appeal to both employees and employers, including managers, HR professionals, and coaches. It will also interest students of occupational and business psychology, occupational health, human resources, and management courses.
