Download or read book Employee Work and Health Behaviors written by Jennifer Woloszyk Hoert and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worksite wellness programs have historically focused on the modification of individual employee behavior (e.g., Shepard, 1981). Scholars have recently engaged in a discussion about the role the workplace environment plays in employee health behavior (e.g., Golaszewski, Allen, & Edington, 2008). The present correlational study contributes to this conversation by defining the relationship between employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion and employees' perceptions of organizational health climate and its impact on employee health and work behaviors and attitudes; and by examining the extent to which variance in work and health behaviors may be accounted for by employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion and by employees' perceptions of organizational health climate. Online and paper-based surveys were used to collect data from the employees (n = 621) at four organizations in the southeast United States. Study findings indicated that employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion were predictive of employee participation in wellness program activities. The study also found that employees' perceptions of organizational health climate were predictive of job satisfaction, job stress, and employee engagement. Overall, the results of this study confirm the importance of leadership support for health promotion and organizational health climate in the strategic development, management and continuation of workplace wellness. These findings have important implications for practice as employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion and employees' perceptions of organizational health climate were found to be key leverage points for employee participation in wellness activities and for employee health behavior change. Future research can extend these findings by continuing to bridge the organizational behavior, management, and human resource development research with the public health research on workplace wellness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work-related factors have implications for health and wellbeing. Due to the amount of time spent at the workplace and the impact of work on health over an individual’s life course, the workplace has evolved as an important arena for population health promotion. Risk factors within the physical and psychosocial working environment, as well as inadequate organizational support, are associated with increasing work-related health problems, which result in psychosocial and economic implications for the individual, the family, the organization and the society. Recent estimates revealed an increasing level of sickness absence due to work related factors, among others. In recognition of the importance of worker health and a healthy working life, but also in line with numerous occupational health goals, many organisations set aside significant amounts of financial resources annually to promote work well-being. However, studies have shown that despite this positive disposition among employers, both employee participation and the impact of such programs remain minimal. According to the Ottawa declaration for health promotion and the Luxembourg declaration for Workplace Health Promotion (WHP), WHP should be strategic. It is recommended that WHP be conducted in a systematic and continuous process of needs analysis, priority setting, planning, implementation and evaluation. Unfortunately, available studies show that many companies have policies currently in place but lack knowledge regarding proper implementation and evaluation. The foregoing phenomenon raises questions regarding the level of knowledge of and attitudes towards WHP among people in management positions. This Research Topic aims to address factors affecting workplace health promotion. - What does WHP mean for employers? - What forms of WHP packages exist? - Is there evaluation and follow up of such interventions? - What are the barriers and facilitators relating to the uptake of WHP interventions among employees? - Do people in relevant managerial positions possess adequate knowledge regarding WHP? Manuscripts that explore factors crucial for WHP, including individual and organizational level factors, crucial for WHP are welcomed. Manuscripts on barriers, evidence-based interventions, best practices, analysis of existing policy documents and those with a life course perspective etc. are also welcomed. Manuscripts can be of national, international and global perspectives.

This book was released on 2023-09-24 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook brings together an international group of experts to offer a comprehensive resource on occupational stress. Including both theoretical and practical perspectives, it examines ways to reduce and treat stress, as well as the physiological, psychosocial, and neural underpinnings of it. Through 24 original and carefully selected essays, the authors offer new insights, resources, and tools to better understand, manage and treat stress in a professional environment. The book’s chapters are divided into 5 parts that address the conceptualisation of stress; present theoretical models (including the contribution of animal models); examine the psychological and physiological aspects of stress and ways to assess it; delve into psychosocial risks at work and their assessment (means and methods); and investigate how to cope with stress at work, including resilience training. Aspects such as the effects of leadership, simulation training, and stress-tests for hiring are also presented and discussed. The volume ends by exploring broader considerations regarding stress and culture, stress and occupational sectors (with a chapter focusing on studentship), and the pharmacology of stress. This handbook is an essential reference for researchers in organisational psychology, as well as business and management and education, who are interested in stress. Healthcare workers and therapists who treat stress will also find an invaluable resource in this far-reaching yet accessible collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health and well-being of people of working age are of fundamental importance to the future of work and organizational productivity globally. Growing evidence suggests that employee well-being at work can help improve physical and mental health, reduce health inequalities and offer improved opportunities for engagement, wellness at work, and productivity. The debate about the impact of working life on employee well-being has been intensified. Whilst the issue of employee well-being at work has reached a new level of importance in the minds of policy makers, managers, and employers there is still little evidence that attention has been paid to the worker’s voice in their evaluation of HRM practices, line management leadership, the quality of working life and well-being at work in organizations. Research within these areas remain relatively untapped. Furthermore, understanding employees expectations of the psycho-social factors affecting the employment relationship and employee well-being at work are all lacking in the evidence base. This book seeks to contribute to the debate in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shine a spotlight on the benefits of promoting health in the workplace Workplace Health Promotion Programs focuses on the incredible value that employee health programs can offer by exploring six key topics: behavioral health, physical health, healthy environments, health education, nutritional health, and physical activity. This in-depth resource explicitly establishes what successful workplace health promotion programs, services, and collaborations are, and then builds upon this foundational understanding by introducing methods and tools for promoting employee health and safety, while emphasizing the skills students need to do so. Through this resource, students will come to understand how to recognize employee health and safety opportunities, and how to think on a larger scale when it comes to workplace health initiatives in small, midsized, and larger employers that are comprehensive and fiscally sound. Workplace health promotion programs have the potential to both improve the health of the population as a whole and control healthcare spending in the process. Health problems are estimated to cost employers in the United States over $200 billion per year through medical costs, absenteeism, disability, and overall reduced productivity. Improving well-being through effective workplace health promotion programs can reduce this cost—and create healthier, happier workforces. Discover the design, implementation, and evaluation of workplace health promotion programs that address the range of employee health needs and concerns Understand how evidence-based programs can positively impact business and reduce health care cost Explore the larger scale implications of successful workplace health programs, including health policies, health insurance design, worker safety, employee behavior, etc. Learn how together employers and employees work to create a culture of health and well-being to support and promote employee health and safety Review the ways in which successful workplace health promotion programs can prove financially beneficial Workplace Health Promotion Programs is a resource that guides students and professionals alike in the discovery, development, and execution of successful employee health initiatives.

Download or read book Engaging Managers and Supervisors to Support Employee Health written by Deborah Gwenevere Passey and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The workplace is an important avenue for supporting workforce health. Employees spend the majority of their time in the workplace. Visible support for a healthy lifestyle from leadership, direct supervisors, and coworkers may positively impact employees’ perception of support for health, as well as other work-related measures. The goal of this dissertation is to validate an instrument measuring employees’ perception of workplace support for health, identify strategies that will engage managers and supervisors to support employees’ participation in wellness programs, and explore the potential benefits of supporting employees’ wellness efforts in the workplace. In the first aim, we test the reliability and validity of a five-item scale measuring employees’ perception of workplace support for health (from leadership, direct supervisor, and coworkers). This study uses survey data collected from small workplaces in King County, Washington at three time points from 2013 to 2017. We demonstrate that the instrument is reliable, detects change in employees’ perceptions over time, and is valid among a population of small workplace employees. When implementing workplace health promotion interventions, researchers and practitioners can use the scale to assess employees’ perception of workplace support for a healthy lifestyle. In the second aim, we evaluate managers’ barriers and facilitators to supporting employee participation in the Washington State wellness program using an exploratory sequential mixed methods study design. We interviewed and surveyed state employees in management positions (executive, middle, and line), at four Washington State agencies located in the greater Olympia area. The results suggest that managers support the wellness program, but they also face challenges with accommodating employees’ participation due to workload and scheduling. About half the managers receive support from the manager above them, and most have not received training on the wellness program. We identified several strategies that may assist managers in supporting their employees’ participation in wellness programs: the provision of training, formal expectations, and encouragement to provide support for employees’ participation. In the third aim, we explore the direct and indirect associations between perceived managers’ support for wellness (actions taken by managers to support participation in wellness programs) and employees’ engagement at work. We conducted a path analysis using employee survey data from two Washington State agencies located in the greater Olympia area. Our findings suggest managers’ support for wellness has moderate indirect associations with employees’ engagement at work. We found the relationship between the perception of managers’ support for wellness and employees’ engagement is mediated by other variables, such as perceived respect and feedback, and agency support for health. The perception of managers’ support for wellness has indirect benefits for employees’ engagement at work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Promotion in the Workplace is a valued reference for anyone who designs, manages, evaluates or studies workplace health promotion programs. Authored by a team of program managers and scholars who have designed and managed programs in several thousand settings, conducted hundreds of program evaluations, and published thousands of scientific studies on the most effective approaches, this 534 page book provides the rare combination of practical perspective combined with conservative scientific rigor. This 4th edition is completely revised from the 3rd edition, which was published in 2002, and builds on the principles first articulated in 1984, in the 1st edition. The earlier editions have been used by tens of thousands of professionals around the world. The overall book is organized around the Awareness, Motivation, Skills and Opportunity (AMSO) Framework, which was first articulated by Dr. Michael P. O'Donnell in 2005. The AMSO Framework has been adopted by hundreds of employers, and integrated into federal legislation that guides federal spending in this area. This book is written with three audiences in mind. The largest audience is the rapidly growing network of professionals who have embraced health promotion as a career. Our hope for them is to provide the insights and tools they need to be as effective as possible in their work, and in turn improve the health and quality of life for millions of people every day. Another key group is human resource professionals who have not chosen health promotion as a career, but have been tasked with implementing programs in their own organizations. Our hope for them is to provide a tangible sense of how programs should work, so they know how to hire the best people to help them and how to monitor and oversee the successful rollout, evaluation, and evolution of a program. The most important audience may be students, most of whom are young people with open minds and passion, people who are still formulating career plans. Our hope is that this book opens their minds to a career path through which they can help individuals experience an enhanced health and sense of wellbeing, transform workplaces into communities that care for their workers while they improve productivity and moderate medical cost increases, all of which will help organizations remain financially sustainable and commercially successful. This text is appropriate for students in undergraduate and graduate level programs. The 23 chapters of the book are organized into six major sections. The three chapters devoted to The Health Promotion Concept, include the health perspective, the business case and the AMSO Framework. The four chapters in on Management cover how to design, manage, evaluate, and market a program. The five chapters on Core Theories describe the behavior change theories most important for health promotion: goal setting, Transtheoretical Model, incentives, self efficacy, and tailoring. The eight chapters on Building Skills address health assessment, fitness, nutrition, stress management, weight control, tobacco control, decision support and EAP. The two chapters on Enhancing Opportunities discuss the impact of social relationships on organization culture. The final chapter is on special challenges in small business settings, the untapped frontier for workplace health promotion.
