Description

How can you future-proof your organization by making it humanly sustainable? Creating Healthy Organizations by Graham Lowe was one of the first books to address this question. Employee stress, burnout, work-life conflict, and disengagement may still be significant workplace problems. But there’s been considerable progress in these areas since Lowe’s pioneering study appeared eight years ago.  
    The healthy organization concept, for instance, has moved into the mainstream of corporate culture. No longer forced to make a business case for workplace health promotion, Researchers focus on how successful interventions are based on closer ties with occupational health and safety. More companies are addressing mental health issues, striving to make workplaces psychologically healthy and safe. As well, extensive tools are now available in many countries to guide actions aimed at developing healthy, safe, and thriving workplaces.
    Lowe thoroughly updated his landmark book in light of these recent workplace trends and resources. Creating Healthy Organizations, Revised and Expanded Edition is a concise, integrated, and practical analysis of the challenges of creating a healthier organization, the key success factors that can guide the improvement process, and strategies to overcome hurdles along the way.

GRAHAM LOWE is president of The Graham Lowe Group Inc., a workplace consulting and research firm, and a professor emeritus at the University of Alberta
