The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence(NIHCE) has today published a set of guidelines for employers on promoting mental wellbeing through productive and healthy working conditions.

The guidance focuses on interventions to promote mental wellbeing through productive and healthy working conditions, and describes mental wellbeing at work as being determined by the interaction between the working environment, the nature of the work and the individual.

The NIHCE website contains a superb set of guidance notes (aimed at businesses) covering all aspects of the promotion of mental wellbeing through productive and healthy working conditions, and offers Business Studies teachers plenty of resource materials for discussion on:

flexible working practices
the role of the line manager
hard and soft hr strategy
how small businesses can collaborate to pool resources
