The definitive account of workplace wellbeing and its key drivers, offering a fresh, data-driven perspective on the connections between happiness, productivity, and organizational success. Most of us spend a third of our waking lives at work. Work shapes our schedules, relationships, identities, and economies?but is it actually making us happy? This crucial question is explored in depth by leading Oxford researchers Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and George Ward, who provide the richest, most comprehensive picture of workplace wellbeing yet. In Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters, the authors clarify what workplace wellbeing is (and is not) and offer a framework for how businesses can approach and improve it. Drawing on extensive large-scale data?including the world's largest data set on employee wellbeing, gathered in partnership with the jobs platform Indeed?the book reveals the remarkable ways in which wellbeing at work varies across workers, occupations, companies, and industries.
