ABSTRACT

In the authors’ experience, most organizational well-being initiatives have tended to focus on creating healthy individuals and, somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten the ancient wisdom of our ancestors of the power of the collective. The collective matters not just for performance, but for creating an environment for people to flourish and thrive. Chapter 3 highlighted the importance of teamwork for psychological well-being (PWB), illustrating how teams can both create and mitigate psychosocial hazards. Team psychosocial hazards impact both individuals and the team's collective psychological capacity. Continuous improvement (CI) is not usually mentioned in the same sentence as PWB, with well-being often the preserve of HR, and CI reporting to a different function, such as Operations, or a tactical performance unit.
