Decent Work-Life-Flow and Organizational Sustainability: Achieving Balance, Health, and Performance in Organizations

by Rita Berger (Editor), C.-Andreas Dalluege (Editor)

Overview

This book helps organizations discover the essential insights from the concept of "Work-Life-Flow" – a vital resource for understanding occupational health in today's flexible work environments, including remote and hybrid setups. Sustainable occupational health is the cornerstone of organizational success, and this book focuses on the dynamic equilibrium between one's professional and personal life roles. As the European Union's work-life balance directive and the International Labour Organization's 'Decent Work' initiative underscore the relevance of work-life flow, the book explores the integration of work and life, offering readers a roadmap to master a healthier balance. Featuring in-depth knowledge from extensive academic and empirical research, innovative self-assessment tools, virtual training, and practical cases, this book empowers professionals and organizations to bridge the gap in work-life balance management, promoting positive well-being, health, and performance for all. This comprehensive guide shows a path toward a healthier, inclusive, and more productive future.
