Evaluating the long-term impact of art therapy on stress management and employee performance in sustainable workplace wellness programs

This study examines the long-term effects of art therapy on stress management and employee performance, with a focus on its role in sustainable workplace wellness programs. It provides a new perspective by combining creative therapeutic methods with strategies to improve organizational productivity. Using a longitudinal approach, the research assesses changes in stress levels, emotional well-being, and work performance at three stages: before the intervention, immediately after, and six months later. The findings show that art therapy helps reduce stress, increase productivity, and improve job satisfaction, with employee engagement playing an important role in these outcomes. The study emphasizes that creative therapeutic approaches can effectively address workplace stress by providing lasting emotional relief and supporting long-term productivity. It also suggests that organizations can enhance employee well-being and workplace sustainability by incorporating mindfulness practices, digital tools, and supportive management strategies.
