To develop and test methodology to measure employees attitudes regarding worksite health promotion. These values and attitudes are described as a "culture of health" and are believed to motivate behavior changes toward improved health outcomes. This survey tool was designed to determine the value and degree of support that employees have for health improvement initiatives at a large food company.
The "Total You Health Values Survey" administered by an outside vendor (Sirota) was sent by e-mail to 4674 headquarters and research and development employees with an explanation of the survey and instructions for completion. The survey was open 14 days and there were no incentives for completion. The survey consisted of three demographic questions, one open ended comment section and 14 core questions in three categories: Supportive Environment, Healthy Lifestyle Attitudes, and Knowledge and Behavior. Employees were guaranteed confidentiality and anonymity.
There were 3339 responses, a 71% response rate. Ninety-one percent of respondents said that encouraging healthy lifestyles is a General Mills priority and 97% said they know the steps needed to stay healthy.
We were able to develop and implement a simple measurement tool to measure the success of our health promotion activities using an e-mail based questionnaire. In the employee population surveyed, we found that there was broad support for health promotion. We believe that this simple survey tool can be used by other employers to measure their organizational "culture of health."
开发并测试用于衡量员工对工作场所健康促进态度的方法。这些价值观和态度被描述为一种“健康文化”，并被认为能够激发行为改变，以实现更好的健康结果。本调查工具旨在确定一家大型食品公司的员工对健康改善举措的重视程度和支持力度。
由外部供应商（西罗塔公司）管理的“全面健康价值观调查”通过电子邮件发送给4674名总部员工以及研发人员，并附带了对调查的解释和填写说明。调查为期14天，且没有完成调查的激励措施。该调查包括三个基本情况问题、一个开放式评论部分以及14个核心问题，分为三类：支持性环境、健康生活方式态度以及知识与行为。员工的信息得到保密和匿名保证。
共收到3339份回复，回复率为71%。91%的受访者表示鼓励健康的生活方式是通用磨坊公司的优先事项，97%的受访者表示他们知道保持健康所需的步骤。
我们能够开发并实施一种简单的测量工具，通过基于电子邮件的问卷来衡量我们健康促进活动的成效。在接受调查的员工群体中，我们发现对健康促进有广泛的支持。我们相信，这种简单的调查工具可供其他雇主用于衡量其组织的“健康文化”。
