Thriving in the Workplace - Inclusivity, Digital Work, and Well-Being

In recent years, the discourse on health and well-being has evolved beyond the boundaries of traditional medical and psychological paradigms, embracing a more holistic and context-sensitive understanding. The intersections between mental health, workplace dynamics, and the socio-technological environment have become critical areas of inquiry, particularly in the wake of rapid digital transformation, shifting organizational cultures, and increasing societal focus on inclusivity. This book is a timely contribution to these evolving conversations, offering a multidisciplinary lens on well-being across diverse settings.
This book brings together three distinct yet interconnected perspectives on mental health and well-being in diverse contexts. The first chapter, A Critical Analysis of Mental Well-Being among Vocational Training Students with Intellectual Disabilities having Autism, examines the unique challenges faced by neurodiverse learners, highlighting the need for inclusive training environments and targeted mental health support. The second chapter, Revealing the Unseen Face of Digital Workplaces: How Overload, Anxiety, and Fear of Missing Out Affect Employee Well-being, explores the hidden costs of hyper-connected digital environments, focusing on how technology-driven pressures erode psychological health. The third chapter, Health and Wellness in Modern Workplace: A Bibliometric Perspective on Ostracism and Well-Being, adopts a data-driven lens to map research trends, uncovering how workplace exclusion impacts employee wellness. Together, these chapters underscore that well-being is shaped not only by individual factors but also by educational inclusivity, digital work culture, and organizational dynamics, calling for holistic strategies to foster healthier learning and work environments.
This book is particularly relevant in the present era, where the well-being of individuals is influenced by diverse factors ranging from educational inclusivity and neurodiversity to the pressures of digital work environments and the complexities of organizational relationships. By addressing the unique needs of vocational training students with intellectual disabilities, the psychological challenges of technology-driven workplaces, and the often-overlooked impact of workplace ostracism, it offers a comprehensive perspective on mental health across contexts. Serving as a valuable resource for educators, HR professionals, organizational leaders, and researchers, this book provides insights and evidence-based strategies for fostering inclusive, supportive, and health-focused environments in both learning and professional settings. As societies and workplaces continue to evolve, it acts as a guide for promoting resilience, inclusivity, and sustainable well-being.
