Titelbeschreibung

Discover how healthy buildings, culture, and people lead to high profits Organizations and employees now spend an average of $18,000 per year per employee for health costs, a 61% increase in 10 years. Every indicator projects these costs will double before 2030. This is an unsustainable path. These costs are the tip to an even bigger iceberg, the hidden costs of time out of the office, distraction, disengagement, and turnover. The Healthy Workplace Nudge explains the findings of research on 100 large organizations that have tackled the problems of employee health costs and disengagement in five fresh ways: <ol> <li>Well-being leads to health and high performance</li> <li>Wake up to the fact that 95% of traditional wellness programs fail to improve health or lower costs</li> <li>Behavioral economics has become a new powerful tool to nudge healthy behavior</li> <li>Healthy buildings are now cost effective and produce your strongest ROI to improving health</li> <li>Leaders who develop healthy cultures achieve sustainable high performance and employee wellbeing</li> </ol> In addition to proving highly effective, these approaches represent a fraction of the cost sunk into traditional wellness and engagement programs. The book explains how to create a workplace that is good for people, releases them to what they do best and enjoy most, and produces great and profitable work. • Find actionable strategies and tactics you can put into use today • Retain happy, productive talent • Cut unnecessary spending and boost your bottom line • Benefit from real-world research and proven practice If you’re a leader who cares about the health and happiness of your employees, a human resource professional, or a professional who develops, designs, builds, or outfits workplace environments to improve employee health and wellbeing, this is one book you’ll want to have on hand.

Back cover copy

Work is the number one stress inducer and stress can drive chronic disease. As chronic disease continues to rise, its associated costs both in human and medical terms are a direct threat to the survival of business. The Healthy Workplace Nudge offers a guide to reducing stress and the related health costs by offering the strategies for creating cultures of care. In this book, the authors challenge the typical ways in which most companies deliver their wellness programs and shows why so many wellness efforts fail to improve the lives of employees. Throughout this must-have resource, the authors report on the research from the Well MindShift project on 100 large organizations that have tackled the problems of employee health costs and disengagement in four innovative ways. These forward-thinking companies know that: happiness leads to health and performance, behavioral economics lead to healthy employee behavior, a healthy culture is essential, and healthy buildings are a must. The Healthy Workplace Nudge is filled with vivid stories of healthy organizations from various industries across the country. The stories are not from lofty executives high on the hill but ideas from serious, down-to-earth, tenacious, and healthy leaders who are curious, courageous, and caring. Their examples show how to implement the actionable strategies and approaches that can be put in place . . . right now. These leaders also reveal what it takes to retain a happy and productive pool of talent and cut unnecessary spending that will boost your bottom line. The Healthy Workplace Nudge is the hands-on guide for creating a healthy environment where your employees and your organization can thrive.
