And healthy employees, who are emotionally, mentally, and physically prepared to take on whatever challenge is in front of them, are more likely to make the companies they work for grow and flourish.

Without our paying attention, the way we work has changed and our work style is such that our workplaces are no longer supporting our health or productivity. In this book, the author shows strategies and plans that help make the employees and the work environment healthier.
