Low levels of wellness and maladaptive behaviour results in accidents at work, rising medical<br />
aid costs, low productivity, high absenteeism, high turnover and even, at times, legal action. Workplace<br />

subjective well-being. This requires the development of health-promotion policies and healthpromotion<br />
programmes.<br />
