Healthy and Productive Work: An International Perspective

The Enterprise Culture of the 1980s helped transform economies of Western Europe, but left behind a legacy of stress, both for managers and shop floor workers. And while the cost of stress is enormous, it has come to be accepted as the legacy of a successful business. A collection of good practice examples, drawn together in a structured way, this book provides clear comparisons of a number of companies in the USA and Europe, ranging from the US Air Force, to an international pharmaceutical company (Zeneca), and a high-powered international retailer (Marks and Spencer). An expert and international panel offers strategies to help you create a healthy environment for your workforce.
