葫芦影业 IWP
The IWP research strategy falls within the University of 葫芦影业鈥檚 vision.
More specially, at the Faculty level our research aims to make a difference through addressing the challenges of maintaining and ensuring wellbeing during the life course but in particular during working life and developing innovative practices that may help the public, private and third sector facing the unprecedented demands to improve the quality of services and effectiveness. We are committed to develop an inclusive society where all can enjoy a long and satisfying working life.
Furthermore, the interest in the relationship between work and wellbeing has increased in recent decades. Professor Dame Carol Black鈥檚 review in 2008 made it an important area of policy interest within UK Government In particular, The Black review highlighted the importance of the workplace in promoting wellbeing and providing high quality work. The recent Stevenson and Farmer review has further consolidated the importance of these relationships. IWP is well placed to respond to this interest having a longstanding history of research which focuses on the relationship between work, non-work and employee wellbeing/mental health. To this end, IWP has formulated its vision and mission that fit in with the wider remit of 葫芦影业 University Management School (SUMS):
