Reviews

This is a hugely comprehensive handbook which encompasses every aspect of organisational well-being indeed extending well beyond the workplace to family, friends and society. Crucial topics such as Black Lives Matter and living with and after Covid-19 have rightly found their way into its pages. It does not shy away from the difficult topics and is a compelling read which encourages an international audience to reflect on the future nature of work and the workplace.
