Book excerpt: Employee sustainability and well-being have been increasingly important discussions in today’s business world. Businesses may have difficulty implementing a successful long-term policy due to a lack of knowledge, limited resources, and a short-term focus; however, the effects have shown a potential strategic and growth advantage. Promoting employee sustainability is an important step towards greater competitive advantage, creation of added value to the business, and a greater identity among society and within the organization itself. Developing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policies for Promoting Employee Sustainability and Well-Being analyzes the current state of employee sustainability policies, systematizes the factors that promote a more sustainable and healthier workplace, explores the implications of diversity and inclusion practices on the well-being of employees, and collects policy options aimed at finding solutions to enhance well-being. Covering topics such as emotional health, organizational behavior, and work satisfaction, this reference work is ideal for academicians, researchers, scholars, practitioners, policymakers, business owners, managers, government officials, instructors, and students.
