There's a correlation between how workers are treated on the job and whether they believe their employer is concerned about their life beyond work. It's a tough one to pin down, but Virgin Pulse took at stab at it.
Virgin Pulse interviewed 500 employees, focusing on how engaged they felt at work, why they felt engaged, and whether an employer's concern for their welfare beyond work made them feel more engaged. This latter "feeling" was dubbed Total Quality of Life by Virgin — TQL.
Overall, Virgin found that engaged employees feel less stress at work and do a better job. No big surprise there. They also tend to report that they believe their employer does care about them as a whole person, not just as a worker bee.
