New, Innovative and Creative Ways of Wellness Management, Regarding Employee and Organisational Wellness.
Abstract
Objectives: To identify what new, innovative and creative ways of wellness management can be derived about employee and organisational wellness considering the previous research that has been done.
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using the Economics and management sciences database. The search was limited to academic articles and journals that were published from the year 2000 to 2013. However the secondary articles that were found were published earlier. From these selected articles, the new, innovative and creative ways of wellness management regarding both employee and organisational wellness were identified and recorded.
Results: There are various ways of wellness management; wellness interventions and models, wellness programs, and work-site health promotion. Organisations are becoming innovative and thinking creatively when it comes to managing the health and well-being of their employees as they realize the benefits from employee wellness.
Conclusions: The results show that there are various ways for wellness management, however, there is still little research on the effectiveness of wellness interventions as well as programs and therefore more research on this would need to be conducted.
