This study aimed to test the feasibility and efficacy of an enhanced onboarding intervention to prevent weight gain and support the early job success of new bus operators.
Control participants ( n = 9) completed usual practice new employee training and onboarding. Intervention participants ( n = 14) completed five supplemental trainings and four online challenges during their first year. Primary outcomes were body weight, dietary behaviors, physical activity, and sleep duration/quality. Early job success was evaluated with measures of newcomer adjustment.
The difference between intervention and control participants in body weight change at 12-month was -6.71 lb (Cohen's d = -1.35). Differences in health behavior changes were mixed, but newcomer adjustment changes favored the intervention group.
Results support the feasibility of enhanced onboarding for bus operators to prevent worsening health while simultaneously advancing their success as new employees.
本研究旨在测试强化入职干预措施预防体重增加和支持新巴士司机早期工作成功的可行性和效果。
对照组(n=9)完成了常规的新员工培训和入职流程。干预组(n=14)在入职第一年完成了五次补充培训和四项在线挑战。主要结果指标是体重、饮食行为、身体活动和睡眠时长/质量。通过新员工调整的衡量标准来评估早期工作成功。
在 12 个月时,干预组和对照组在体重变化方面的差异为-6.71 磅(Cohen's d = -1.35)。健康行为变化的差异各不相同,但新员工调整的变化有利于干预组。
结果支持为巴士司机提供强化入职培训以防止健康状况恶化,同时提高他们作为新员工的成功率。
