Workplace Wellbeing: Stress and Productivity at Work
Manchester Metropolitan University
There is a compelling case for improving productivity and well-being in the workplace. We draw on our contemporary research and consultancy experience to consider two important aspects. First, changes in working practices (e.g., remote working). Second, individual and organisational differences that impact the stress-productivity relationship (e.g., group dynamics). We conclude by outlining strategies that may help maintain productivity and performance in the workplace.
