They outline strategies, policies and practical advice for promoting employee wellbeing, such as the use of work-enhancing technologies and further exploration into flexible working patterns. Ultimately, chapters emphasise the individual, economic and global importance of finding balance in achieving one's health and wellbeing.

Researchers and scholars focusing on human resource management, organisational behaviour and occupational health and safety will benefit from the insights presented in this book.

Industry Reviews

'Employee wellbeing and work-life balance are critical issues that transcend borders, cultures, and industries. The edited volume, Work-life Balance, Employee Health and Wellbeing: An International Perspective, makes an important contribution to our understanding of the array of factors that influence worker health and wellbeing and does so from a cross-cultural perspective. The individual chapters highlight some of the major issues that impact health and wellbeing (e.g., work intensification, traffic congestion) while also diving deeply into cultural context. Importantly, the book includes key topics such as remote work and the viability of the four-day workweek, providing insights into the future of work. The book should serve as an outstanding resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world who are interested in employee health and wellbeing.' -- Tammy Allen, University of South Florida, US
