Abstract

Deciding on the implementation of the organization's well-being strategies and programs is one of the main concerns of human resource managers to improve the health and well-being of employees. Because identifying the desired programs from the employees' perception, along with measuring the level of their implementation, not only creates more satisfaction and happiness in the employees but also enables the organization's executive ability to spend the budget with the least waste of resources. What should be done to decide on the direction of various programs in the organization? After analyzing 6 strategies, 13 programs, and 60 actions to promote employees’ well-being in the qualitative stage, the present mixed study shows how to prioritize each action of the employee well-being programs in the workplace by applying the importance-performance analysis technique in the quantitative stage. The statistical population of this research was all 320 employees of the administrative and recruitment organization, of which 200 were selected as a sample. The research results show that managers can focus more on some of the 60 actions, discard or continue some of them, and finally give less priority to some of these actions to decide about employee well-being programs at work.
