Make Work Healthy is a why-to/how-to book that charts the course for leaders who want to create resilient, sustainable, and high performing workplaces that will attract talent and engage workers. We share our views on the future of work and the workplace. We believe that the key to success will be an absolute obsession with workforce health. Moving away from tactical, ad-hoc, event-based, HR led wellbeing programs focused on building awareness and driving down sick days to a more strategic approach that is data-driven, evidence-based, and C-suite led. Using a ‘Salutogenic’ approach and a holistic definition, we aim to share an inspirational book and offer many examples of workplace practices to deliver proven steps to success.
