Study: Spouses Can Help (Or Hurt) Employee Health
A new study published in JAMA Network Open looks at what spouses have in common when it comes to their physical health. While people do tend to marry those that share common interests or backgrounds, habits like exercise and diet naturally affect the routines and lifestyle choices of those in the same household.
Stanford Professor Questions The Future Of Remote Work
Dr. Nicholas Bloom, a professor in the Department of Economics at Stanford University, is famous for his work on remote work. One of his most well-known pieces found that working from home made employees 13% more productive and 50% less likely to quit. Despite the positives of remote work uncovered from the study, he is quick to note the current environment is quite different, especially in four areas: children, space, privacy, and choice.
USPSTF: No Support For Vitamin D Screenings
In a draft recommendation statement, the USPSTF found that the current evidence is inadequate to recommend screening for vitamin D deficiency in asymptomatic adults. The findings are based on a systematic review of 46 studies that assessed various doses, frequency, and duration of treatment with vitamin D to examine the benefits and harms of treatment.
Community Well-Being Rankings By State (US)
Boston University School of Public Health and Sharecare published a set of data that provides valuable information on individual and community well-being, respectively. These indices should be reviewed by wellness professionals as they consider the challenges they must face when seeking to improve employee health.
Benefits Alone Cannot Improve Employee Well-Being
A study from The Well-being Lab and George Mason University found that wellness benefits alone cannot meaningfully change the health of employees. Specifically, the study found that leadership and culture have an incredible impact on well-being in the workplace.
Mental Health Conditions Remain Elevated As Pandemic Continues
Since the beginning of the pandemic, a large number of employees have reported that they are dealing with depression, unprecedented levels of stress, trouble concentrating, and difficulty maintaining a health work-life balance. If mental health is left unaddressed, employee well-being and productivity will only continue to suffer.
How A Global Pandemic Illuminated Air Pollution’s Health Impacts
The limited amount of human activities and business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic have, in turn, limited these tasks’ negative consequences on the environment. Pollution from traffic and industry has substantially decreased. Now, some scientists and observers are noticing measurable improvements to air quality around the world.
Study: Commercial Apps, Rewards Programs Linked With Increased Activity Levels
As smartphone technology advances and wearable devices become more ubiquitous, many wellness programs seek to utilize fitness tracking apps and tools to monitor and offer incentives for physical activity. However, it can be difficult to gauge how inspiring (or discouraging) this is for users and whether or not it has a substantial impact on people’s health habits and activity levels.
Study: Tobacco Cessation Programs Need More Than Behavioral Interventions
One of the most substantial ways to improve employee well-being is by helping them quit smoking through tobacco cessation programs, which often include behavioral interventions. However, research suggests that behavioral support on its own may not be enough, and using medication in conjunction with behavioral interventions can significantly improve the success rates for quitting.
