INTERVENTION AT WORKPLACE FOR REDUCING STRESS AMONGST EMPLOYEE

Abstract

Employee health and wellness are important for employees, their families, and their organizations. We review the literature on both stress management interventions in organizations and workplace health promotion and wellness programs, from the lens of primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions as well as the framework provided by the job demands. Stress management interventions tend to be ameliorative, often focusing on restoring resources that have been depleted by the work environment, whereas workplace health promotion and wellness programs tend to be more preventive, enhancing job and personal resources for all employees. We conclude the review by offering suggestions for future research and some considerations for the design and evaluation of future interventions.
