Do American workers dig wellness initiatives? It’s tough to say.
About a third of U.S. employees surveyed by the Washington, D.C.-based American Psychological Association say they participate in employer-sponsored programs that encourage physical fitness, sound nutrition, and others healthy living initiatives aimed at making workers healthier. Slightly more — 41 percent — said their organization helps employees develop or maintain a healthy lifestyle.
It’s hard to know how to interpret the fact that so few workers believe their employer takes steps to promote their physical well-being. The survey did not query employees on whether they believed it was the role of their employer to assume the role of a health coach.
