In corporate dynamics, organizations grapple with a pressing dilemma—how to balance the pursuit of success with the well-being and sustained mental health of their workforce. Across industries, employees find themselves burdened with an ever-growing array of responsibilities, a phenomenon that takes a toll on their physical and emotional well-being, ultimately jeopardizing productivity. The pervasive threat of burnout looms large, necessitating a nuanced understanding of the intricate interplay between employee welfare and organizational prosperity. Recognizing the escalating prevalence of mental health issues, particularly in developing nations, scholars are intensifying their focus on the need for comprehensive studies to unearth strategies that can mitigate workplace stress and enhance the overall mental health of employees. This critical exploration forms the crux of our upcoming book, Nurturing Prosperity: Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Employee Wellbeing , where we unravel the profound influence of CSR on the multifaceted dimensions of employee wellness.

Designed for the corporate sector, private organizations, banks, university faculties, students, industrialists, and researchers, "Nurturing Prosperity: Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Employee Wellbeing" offers a valuable resource for those seeking to revolutionize their approach to CSR and employee wellbeing.
