Although work can contribute to good well-being, the opposite is also true. To sustain and improve employee well-being, organisations need to implement specific interventions in the workplace. According to multi-level theory, interventions can be implemented on different levels of the organisations: individual, group, leader, and organizational level. This chapter discusses the implementation of well-being interventions on these different levels of the organisation by giving eight (two per each level) practical examples from the Horizon 2020-funded H-WORK project. We combine theory and practice by focusing on the theoretical underpinnings of these interventions, as well as the practical content. The examples in this chapter show that organisations can contribute to employee well-being and mental health in many different ways and contexts. Moreover, the examples in this chapter show that interventions can not only decrease work demands (e.g., work stress, work-life conflict, ineffective communication) but also increase job resources (e.g., person-job fit, leadership support, healthy organizational policies). By respecting the multi-level structure of organisations, these interventions can create healthy and productive workplaces and help employees across all levels of the organisation.

Abstract

Although work can contribute to good well-being, the opposite is also true. To sustain and improve employee well-being, organisations need to implement specific interventions in the workplace. According to multi-level theory, interventions can be implemented on different levels of the organisations: individual, group, leader, and organizational level. This chapter discusses the implementation of well-being interventions on these different levels of the organisation by giving eight (two per each level) practical examples from the Horizon 2020-funded H-WORK project. We combine theory and practice by focusing on the theoretical underpinnings of these interventions, as well as the practical content. The examples in this chapter show that organisations can contribute to employee well-being and mental health in many different ways and contexts. Moreover, the examples in this chapter show that interventions can not only decrease work demands (e.g., work stress, work-life conflict, ineffective communication) but also increase job resources (e.g., person-job fit, leadership support, healthy organizational policies). By respecting the multi-level structure of organisations, these interventions can create healthy and productive workplaces and help employees across all levels of the organisation.
