A recent Virgin HealthMiles’ survey of nearly 1,300 businesses has found a crucial connection between the effectiveness of an organization’s cultural wellness and the wellness of its employees.
The survey found that while 87 percent of employees think that employer-sponsored health and wellness programs play an important role in choosing an employer, employers continue to struggle when it comes to communicating and measuring the effectiveness of these programs.
“Creating a culture-first mentality is a critical step for employers when it comes to building a highly engaged
work force,” Chris Boyce, CEO of Virgin HealthMiles, said. “The trends outlined within this survey mirror what
we’re seeing in the market: Employees become much more motivated and productive when they know that their employer cares about their total quality of life, which goes beyond traditional wellness.”
