The aim of this study was to provide a current picture of the state of workplace health promotion (wellness) programs in the U.S. from both employer and employee perspectives.
We analyzed data from two independent surveys of employers (N = 1500) and the general population (N = 4611).
Employers reported offering wellness programs at almost twice the rate of employees who reported having these programs available to them. Most (59.4%) employees felt employers should play a role in improving worker health and nearly three-fourths (72.1%) thought that lower insurance premiums should be offered for participation in wellness programs. However, fewer than half felt that their work environment allows them to maintain good health.
Although wellness programs are offered at the majority of workplaces in the U.S., employees are unlikely to be aware of these efforts and would like employers to be forthcoming in providing programs promoting good health.
本研究旨在从雇主和员工的角度,呈现美国职场健康促进(健康)计划的现状。
我们分析了来自两项独立调查的数据,一项是针对雇主的调查(N = 1500),另一项是针对普通人群的调查(N = 4611)。
雇主报告提供健康计划的比例几乎是报告可获得这些计划的员工比例的两倍。大多数(59.4%)员工认为雇主应在改善员工健康方面发挥作用,近四分之三(72.1%)的员工认为参与健康计划应获得更低的保险费。然而,不到一半的员工觉得他们的工作环境能让他们保持良好健康。
尽管美国大多数工作场所都提供健康计划,但员工不太可能知晓这些举措,并且希望雇主能积极提供促进健康的计划。
