Abstract: Purpose: This scoping review addresses the effects of workplace wellness, health, and safety initiatives on employee engagement and output. The scoping review aimed to provide evidence-based strategies to increase employee effectiveness. It also seeks the summarise the most current research on the effects of these programs on employee engagement and productivity. Methodology: The review involved an extensive search of relevant databases to identify published, unpublished, and grey material. It also evaluated the possibility of bias in the included studies, and the findings were assembled using a narrative synthesis. Findings: The research discovered that several initiatives impact employees' health, safety, and well-being and how engaged and productive they are inside a business. The integration of well-being programs into the organizational structure is facilitated by strong leadership participation, which also fosters a receptive culture. Additionally, it was shown that employee commitment and participation were vital in obtaining successful program results. Giving employees a voice and a sense of ownership over the programs encourages motivation, engagement, and productivity. Unique Contribution To Theory, Practice And Policy: The findings of this research will aid in elucidating the relationship between employee engagement and productivity and workplace safety, health, and wellness indicators. The information may be used by businesses and other stakeholders to make choices about how to implement and evaluate workplace safety, health, and wellness initiatives.
