Arguing that workforce health is an asset, the authors explore ways to improve employee well-being and productivity. They discuss evidence on the relationship between health, work, and productivity; lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and how organizations, healthcare professionals, and policymakers have responded, including the challenges of working from home and its impact on physical and psychological well-being, sleep, fatigue, job satisfaction, and work-life balance, as well as burnout, "moral injury," and long COVID; the role of line managers in managing the well-being of employees; the role of healthcare professionals in improving workforce health, particularly primary care practitioners and professionals in occupational medicine, secondary care, and vocational rehabilitation; workplace health interventions to improve productivity; how to ensure that workforce health is seen as an asset rather than a liability; and the main drivers of workforce health in the future, particularly the role of line managers, occupational health, risk assessment and prevention, well-being at work after COVID, and using well-being to drive performance.
