Employers are increasingly paying attention to the health and wellbeing of their workforce. New benefits and incentives for healthy behaviors are on the rise, but still have a long road ahead. This paper shares information revealed by a recent Gallup survey on employee satisfaction with their health benefits, as well as their perception of how stress in the workplace is handled. The results highlight the need for more attention on the health problems that result from stress.
The paper will help you learn:
- How despite rising costs for health insurance, American workers miss a staggering number of work days resulting from preventable health problems
- The opportunities for employers to encourage a healthy workforce and the positive benefits that are possible
- The strong sentiment of U.S. workers to receive more health-related benefits and incentives that will have a positive impact
In 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called work-related stress “the leading workplace health problem and a major occupational health risk, ranking above physical inactivity and obesity.” Read this paper to understand how payers and employers can close the health gap with proactive programs and focus on the real issues.
