Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore how Human Resources (HR) professionals understand the employee well-being (EWB) and how important it seems for employers in Poland as well as what programs that support EWB have been applied in organizations in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the selective literature review, available reports and own quality research – the semi-structured interviews conducted among HR professionals from organizations in Poland, the author explores how employers can comprehensively support building employee well-being. Findings: This research has shown that most of the HR professionals are aware of the important 14 role of the EWB in determining an organization’s long-term effectiveness and building a competitive advantage. However, the employers’ approach to EWB is more reactive than proactive as only two of the interviewed HR professionals could explained how the EWB was rooted in the business strategy and executed within all of the four areas of integrated EWB. Research limitations/implications: The research has some limitations as the sample of the HR experts was not very large – it consisted of ten HR professionals. Moreover, most of the professionals have represented large corporations. Therefore, it would be recommended to provide future research in various organizations as well as enlarge the sample. Practical implications: The research has shown what actions has been undertaken by the employers to build employee well-being. There were mapped the main tools that support the four areas of integrated EWB used by the employers. Social implications: EWB plays crucial role in sustaining Human Capital and it is an important aspect of corporate social responsibility. The paper might raise the awareness among the employers in Poland about the importance of Sustainable Human Resource Management. Originality/value: The paper shows the integrated approach toward the EWB and explores how the EWB practices may be developed within the organization. The paper may be useful for entrepreneurs, managers and HR professionals.
