Deep dives
Well-being interventions at the individual level are ineffective
Research from the University of Oxford reveals that workplace well-being interventions aimed at the individual level, such as resilience training and stress management programs, are not effective in improving mental well-being or helping individuals cope with work demands. Volunteering was found to have some small benefit, highlighting the importance of social aspects. The study suggests that organizations need to focus on system-level changes to reduce work demands rather than solely relying on individual-level interventions.
