What the paper says

In contemporary workplaces, prioritising employee well-being is of paramount importance. This exploratory study explored various factors and challenges that influence employee well-being from the perspective of human resource (HR) practitioners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 HR practitioners from different organisations in India. The data were analysed through thematic coding, revealing three pivotal themes of factors influencing employee well-being: macro-factors (government policies, geographic location, social factors, and national culture); organisational factors (organisational culture, organisational behaviour, organisational structure, and organisational brand image); and contextual factors (HR practices, leadership, and job characteristics). The findings also indicated that HR practitioners face several challenges at the individual, team, institutional, and macro levels. By understanding these factors and the challenges faced by HR practitioners in enhancing employee well-being, organisations may reevaluate their strategies for employee well-being.
