Four areas--health benefits, occupational safety and health, prevention and wellness, and human resource development--have contributed significantly to enhancing worker health. The "healthy corporation" is both a goal and a comprehensive attitude about organizational life and about the factors the affect organizational health and, ultimately, organizational profitability. The work environment, employee health, and the larger environment all have an effect on employee health and organizational profits. Many factors can have a negative impact on organizational health, including a negative physical environment, work overload (too much work with inadequate resources), repetitious or monotonous work, shift work, inadequate ventilation, the necessity of spending long periods of time at video display terminals, and job-related stress. Possible approaches to alleviating the negative impact of these factors include job redesign, redesign of physical settings, improvement of hygiene and safety programs, and consideration of stress management techniques when defining work tasks. When employees feel a lack of control over their jobs and conditions or an inability to participate in managerial decisions, they are more likely to feel undue stress and be subject to its adverse effects. Other sources of job-related stress include tense work relationships, lack of career progression, unclear work roles, poorly managed change, and conflicts between work and family or work and leisure. By reexamining existing personnel policies and attempting to expand employees' work options, companies can do much to alleviate these sources of stress and thus enhance organizational health and profitability.
