Description

Explore the complex relationship between work culture and employee well-being in Healthy and Productive Work: An International Perspective. Published by CRC Press, this book examines how the Enterprise Culture of the 1980s transformed Western European economies while leaving a lasting legacy of stress for both managers and shop floor workers. Understanding the economic impact of workplace stress is vital for modern business. This text highlights the significant costs associated with absenteeism, reduced productivity, and compensation claims. In the US alone, these issues cost approximately USD150 billion annually. The book also provides a perspective on the UK, where stress-related absences are ten times more costly than industrial relations disputes, and sickness absence, premature death, and retirement due to alcoholism cost an estimated GBP2 billion a year. This resource offers an international viewpoint on how organizational environments affect health and output. It is an essential read for those studying labor economics and the long-term consequences of economic shifts on the global workforce.
