Working well: a healthy employee means a wealthy organization.
The financial manager as "manager" of the organization's resources, manages both financial and human resources. In this interview, Mark J. Tager, MD, discusses how a manager can affect an employee's wellness on the job, or promote "working well". Wellness means both physical health and mental stamina. Employees at a high level of wellness are more creative, positive, and productive. According to Tager, there are five characteristics that can create wellness and help the employee to perform better on the job. These five characteristics--participation, environment, recognition, knowledge, and style or PERKS--are a set of practical management guide-lines that can help managers cultivate and protect their human resources.
