Findings Recent decades have witnessed growing concerns about obesity and serious medical conditions. These issues are especially prominent in the USA. One significant consequence is a stronger commitment toward improving health in the workplace. It is widely accepted that positive correlation exists between employee well-being and productivity. The reverse is also true though. Chronic disease among the workforce invariably affects the organization’s ability to compete with its rivals. An inevitable rise in healthcare costs further heightens the negative fallout.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on how human resource management practices (HRMPs) impact employee well-being (EWB), and how integrity leadership and organizational justice shape this relationship. The three HRMP dimensions – ability-enhancing, motivation-enhancing, and opportunity-enhancing HR practices – all positively impacted the trio of EWB dimensions, namely job well-being, psychological well-being, and life well-being. Organizational justice proved to enhance the ability of HRMPs to boost EWB, and integrity leadership was an EWB catalyst in all of these interrelationships. HR teams are therefore advised to invest clear and genuine efforts into boosting the integrity of leaders, for example through rigorous recruitment screening.

Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Douglas Conant once remarked that companies must first win in the workplace to succeed in the marketplace. With this quote, the former CEO of Campbell’s Soup was pointing out the importance of employee engagement. Statistics back up his claim. Workers who are disaffected negatively impact the financial well-being of an organization. This cost has been measured in hundreds of billions of dollars each year. The picture is radically different where engaged employees are concerned. Such individuals are invested in their work and readily buy into the firm’s values and objectives. Employee engagement typically generates an increase in performance levels and output. Satisfaction levels are high, and they are considerably less likely to leave the company than other workers. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings For many young managers and strategists, few of them will realize just how mighty Japan and its firms were in the 1990s. As the world’s second biggest economy, it saw many of its firms lead their industries in both size and innovation – Toyota and Sony being just two examples – so that they genuinely threatened to overtake the USA and its preeminence. Indeed, when Toyota finally overtook General Motors as the world’s biggest car manufacturer, the effect was felt through Detroit and beyond. Further stories about the similar rise in the price of Tokyo real estate became legendary as well – for example that the well-heeled district of Ginza in central Tokyo was worth more than the whole of California.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Who has been the biggest sports star to emerge from China in the past century? For many countries, this would be a tough question, given the sheer variety of sports played and number of talents to grace the international stage. From Australia? Rod Laver, Don Bradman and David Campese would all be in with a shout. For France? Zinedine Zidane or Michel Platine were both huge. For the USA? Well, where do you start – Michael Jordan, Joe Montana or Babe Ruth were all massive stars for its three major sports. From China? Well that is actually a straightforward one – Yao Ming was a huge international sports star (in more ways than one). And what all these people had in common was that they were hugely marketable assets for their sponsors.
