wellbeing: a systematic
review

This paper aims to


examine the effect
of healthy lifestyle
interventions on
mental wellbeing.

The findings are that


employees exercising
their own WLB
strategies showed better
health conditions and
wellbeing that those
who do not; they were
also more capable of
achieving WLB. Several
control variables such as
age, working hours,
education level and
household incomes
were found to have
moderate effects on
employee health and
wellbeing.
Findings Two authors
reviewed 95 full papers.
In total, 29 papers met
inclusion criteria,
representing a range of
interventions spanning
physical activity, diet,
alcohol intake, drug use
and smoking. A range of
measures were used.
The majority (n 25)
of studies demonstrated
improvements on at
least one indicator of
mental health and
wellbeing.

Six databases
were searched A
broad focus on
lifestyle
interventions and
mental health and
wellbeing
outcomes was
chosen. Papers
were
systematically
extracted by title
then abstract
according to
predefined
inclusion and
exclusion criteria.
Inclusion criteria:
anyindividual
population (noncouple/family);
any health
behaviour change
interventions;
mental health and
wellbeing
outcomes; and a
one-two level of
evidence.
Interventions
aimed at workers
were excluded, as
were articles
assessing
cognitive
functioning rather
than mental health
or wellbeing, or
those using
medications in
interventions

research is
needed on the
effects of
lifestyle
interventions
targeting
smoking,
alcohol, drugs
and sexual
health on
mental health
and wellbeing
outcomes, given
that exercise
and diet
interventions
dominated in
interventions.
Further reviews
may also
benefit from
exploring a
broader range
of wellbeing
indicators,
including
loneliness,
isolation and
inclusion.

Why do organisations
engage in HR
initiatives? A test case of
a health and wellbeing
intervention

Kay Greasley
Paul Edwards

Jeremy Dale

Purpose Many
studies look at the
effects of human
resource (HR)
initiatives. Yet very
few consider why
organisations adopt
them in the first
place. Health and
wellbeing
interventions offer a
critical case because
they offer apparent
benefits for all.
Assessing the
process of
engagement reveals
variations in
managerial
commitment, which
has implications for
studies of effects.

Using the results,


individual employee

designed to improve

eight possible links
between well-being and

perceived as plausible.
The most common
views were that high
innovativeness connects
to high well-being and
vice versa. Additionally,
low well-being was seen
to decrease
innovativeness. All
organisational levels of
knowledge- and labourintensive organisations
shared these views.
More specifically, the
interviewees shared the
view that participating
