  • Description:
    For most humans work is an important fact of life and something that is necessary for survival and individual wellbeing. However, the circumstances under which we work may vary considerably and are, in part, contingent on geographical location, governmental regulations, design of social welfare systems, production systems, and human resource management strategies. In many industrialized countries, demographic developments entailing an ageing workforce increase the importance of developing sustainable employments. A healthy, safe, and productive working life is the essence of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work's goal for employees in a modern and sustainable workplace. The goal may be obtained by ensuring the employees' wellbeing at workplaces through improvement of the working environment and through different types of health promotion initiatives at the workplace. ... In this special issue, a wide array of topics on workplace health promotion and employees' wellbeing is described.The topics include (1) alternate ways to consider the value of workplace health promotion, (2) the local context needed for developing healthy workplaces, (3) the impact of participatory interventions on wellbeing at work, (4) the importance of reducing workplace stressors alongside introducing workplace health promotion, (5) strategies that supervisors use to prevent sickness absence among employees with musculoskeletal disorders, (6) motivation and barriers for workplace health promotion with physical exercise, and (7) the impact of organizational health climate on workers wellbeing.
