Download or read book Managing Healthy Organizations written by Mikael Holmqvist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past two decades, corporate management has come to take an active role in health promotion programming for employees, offering health education, screenings, therapy, and even leisure initiatives. However, little attention has been given to how contemporary worksite health programs in fact blur the traditional distinction between work and private life. This has resulted in that little research on the other side of the work-health nexus: how employers factor health considerations into workforce management and productivity control. With the advancement of "work-site health promotion" in contemporary organizations, Holmqvist and Maravelias argue that this narrow focus, and the typical uncritical standpoint towards initiatives which are taken in the name of employees’ health, is inadequate. At a more fundamental level, the advancement of work-site health promotion may be a sign of a new or altered corporate health ethic: in contrast to the old corporate health ethic that was narrow and specific to the workplace, the new corporate health ethic appears to judge the ‘whole employee’ and especially what the whole employee may become; the risks one faces and the abilities one has to shoulder the responsibility for developing into a real corporate value. The authors suggest that health experts’ work is closely aligned with problems relating to the general management of organizations. Through a focused appraisal of this central albeit neglected occupational group in management studies, this book tries to explore and understand in some depth situations and experiences that are of general interest and concern in our society.

Download or read book Integrated Occupational Safety and Health Management written by Seppo Väyrynen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maximizing reader insights into a new movement toward leadership approaches that are collaborated and shared, and which views Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and performance excellence within the wider examination of leadership relationships and practices, this book argues that these relationships and processes are so central to the establishment of OSH functioning that studying them warrants a broad, cross-disciplinary, multiple method analysis. Exploring the complexity of leadership by the impact that contexts (e.g., national and organizational culture) may have on leaders, this book discusses the related literature, then moves forward to show how a more comprehensive practical approach to Occupational Safety and Health and performance excellence can function on levels pertaining to events, individuals, groups, and organizations. This book proposes that greater clarity in understanding leadership in Occupational Safety and Health and performance excellence can be developed from addressing two fundamental issues. Firstly, how do subunit inputs and processes combine to produce unit-level outcomes and how does leadership affect this process? Secondly, how do the leaders influence the way that individual-level inputs are combined to produce organizational outputs. In these issues, the alternative methodologies that allow precise measurement of organizational outputs in OSH and performance excellence are reviewed. To help readers navigate through the best practices, each chapter contains Question Guidelines, Exercises and Case studies which illustrate the concepts discussed and which serves to highlight the key evidence demonstrating that collaborative leadership can positively affect individual, group, and organizational level outcomes, including organizational OSH and performance excellence.

Download or read book Optimizing Corporate Portfolio Management written by Anand Sanwal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-04-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If where an organization allocates its resources determines its strategy, why is it that so few companies actively manage the resource allocation process? "Optimizing Corporate Portfolio Management: Aligning Investment Proposals with Organizational Strategy" goes beyond platitudes about why you should use corporate portfolio management (CPM) by offering a practical methodology to bring this powerful discipline to your organization. "Optimizing Corporate Portfolio Management" takes an expansive view of where CPM can be utilized by demonstrating that it can be used across any business line, product group or functional area, e.g., IT, R&D, innovation, marketing, salesforce, capital expenditure, etc. CPM is appropriate anywhere discretionary investments are being selected and executed. As a result, other terms used to describe portfolio management such as IT portfolio management, enterprise portfolio management, and project portfolio management are all merely subsets or slices of CPM. The book is written by Anand Sanwal, an expert on CPM, who has led American Express' CPM discipline (referred to as American Express Investment Optimization). American Express' CPM efforts are widely recognized as the most extensive, substantial and progressive deployment of CPM across any organization. Sanwal avoids academic theories and consultant jargon to ultimately deliver pragmatic and proven recommendations on how to make CPM a reality. The book features a foreword by Gary Crittenden, former CFO and EVP of American Express, and several case studies from leading financial services, technology, and government organizations utilizing CPM. Additionally, the book has received significant praise from thought leaders at Google, HP, American Express, The CFO Executive Board, Gartner, Accenture Marketing Sciences, The Wharton School of Business and many others.

Download or read book Workplace Health Promotion through Occupational Health Management In Small and Medium Sized Companies written by Gerhard Schön and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The central research topic of this paper is to present these causal relationships, interactions and the role model function of corporate management, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises. A paradigmatic application case is ergonomic workplace design and company integration management. For empirical validation, guideline-based expert interviews were conducted as part of a pilot study. The evaluation according to Mayring of the general aspects, workplace health promotion and workplace health management in the surveyed companies or small and medium-sized enterprises revealed the following: The vast majority (six out of eight) of the interviewed companies have already established workplace health management and workplace health promotion. Corresponding background knowledge is available, and the instruments developed for this purpose are consciously used to increase (external and internal) employer attractiveness, to promote employee retention and commitment. Occupational health management and workplace health promotion can counteract a negative trend in individual sectors and facilitate staff recruitment. It also reduces absenteeism and improves company performance indicators. The involvement of the primarily responsible management and organisational anchoring in the company are named as decisive prerequisites for success. Modern forms of work organisation (remote work and home office) also play a special role. The workforce reacts predominantly with approval, especially since today's labour market is an employee market. The modern economic and working world is dominated by two megatrends: globalisation and digitalisation. Companies have to do everything they can to survive economically in a competitive situation that has become more intense as a result. The work situation is therefore becoming increasingly complex and stressful. This leads to increased mental and physical strain on employees, is the cause of their dissatisfaction and promotes absenteeism and presenteeism. A growing shortage of skilled workers and demographic change also ensure that the demand for workplace health promotion and comprehensive corporate health management is gaining ground. Health and satisfaction at the workplace ensure motivation and commitment, increase company results and value even in times of crisis and have an indirect effect on public health.
