From the Back Cover

Work is the number one stress inducer and stress can drive chronic disease. As chronic disease continues to rise, its associated costs both in human and medical terms are a direct threat to the survival of business. The Healthy Workplace Nudge offers a guide to reducing stress and the related health costs by offering the strategies for creating cultures of care.

In this book, the authors challenge the typical ways in which most companies deliver their wellness programs and shows why so many wellness efforts fail to improve the lives of employees. Throughout this must-have resource, the authors report on the research from the Well MindShift project on 100 large organizations that have tackled the problems of employee health costs and disengagement in four innovative ways. These forward-thinking companies know that: happiness leads to health and performance, behavioral economics lead to healthy employee behavior, a healthy culture is essential, and healthy buildings are a must.

The Healthy Workplace Nudge is filled with vivid stories of healthy organizations from various industries across the country. The stories are not from lofty executives high on the hill but ideas from serious, down-to-earth, tenacious, and healthy leaders who are curious, courageous, and caring. Their examples show how to implement the actionable strategies and approaches that can be put in place . . . right now. These leaders also reveal what it takes to retain a happy and productive pool of talent and cut unnecessary spending that will boost your bottom line.

The Healthy Workplace Nudge is the hands-on guide for creating a healthy environment where your employees and your organization can thrive.
