Every employer is looking for ways to improve business success. Improving workforce health is becoming an important part of employers business strategy. An organizations commitment to a culture of health and the health status of its workforce has a strong relationship to employee job performance. Employees in these organizations spend more time working, work more carefully and concentrate better than employees at other organizations, according to research by the Integrated Benefits Institute.
One study asked employees to rate their organizations interests in employee health and creating a healthy workplace. The majority of respondents (86%) rated the health culture in their organization as excellent or good; the remaining 14% rated their organizations health culture as fair or poor. This study used a research database of health risk appraisal data from 1,268 employees at 53 employers.
