Integrating the Organization of Health Services, Worker Wellbeing and Quality of Care
This book introduces the concept of ‘healthy healthcare’ and posits that this new concept is necessary in light of a shortage of healthcare staff in the near future.

The book synthesizes evidence-based practice and research on the links between healthcare services, employee health and wellbeing, and quality of healthcare from...

Recovery is more than a bottom up movement turned into top down mental health policy in English-speaking countries. Recove...
The Oxford Handbook of Participation in Organizations
Employee participation encompasses the range of mechanisms used to involve the workforce in decisions at all levels of the organization - whether direct or indirect - conducted with employees or through their representatives. In its various guises, the topic of employee participation has been a recurring theme in industrial relations and human resource management.

Accordingly in this book, a number of the more significant...
