Let’s get to what matters for employee well-being.
Workplace well-being programs are everywhere. Yet burnout, disconnection, and disengagement persist. The problem isn’t effort. It’s approach. Most programs address symptoms while leaving the deeper conditions that drive human thriving untouched. Reimagining Workplace Well-Being shows a better way, integrating the science of what works with a more whole-person understanding of what employees actually need.
Grounded in proven best practices from workplace well-being research and decades of management science research on workplace spirituality, this book helps organizations of all sizes foster whole-person well-being for individuals, teams, and leaders to drive positive business outcomes. It is the resource for leaders ready to move beyond fragmented programs and build the conditions where people and performance both thrive.
