    The "psychologically healthy" workplace has received much public attention in recent years. But how exactly can a psychologically healthy workplace be created and maintained? What steps can organizations take, without sacrificing the bottom line, to build a culture that optimizes long-term value for employees, management, and shareholders alike? In this book, top scholars focus on the complex interplay between employee and organizational outcomes across five key intervention areas, including:
    • Employee involvement—fostering creativity and autonomy of employees, and encouraging involvement in organizational decision-making)
    •Work-life balance—providing employees increased flexibility in when, where and how often they work, as well as assistance in navigating life challenges outside of work
    •Employee growth and development—career development and programs to increase competencies
    •Employee recognition—monetary and non-monetary awards in response to significant achievements and
    •Health and safety—promoting healthy behaviors alongside prevention, assessment, and treatment of potential health problems.
