The ability to promote good for oneself and others has been linked to higher levels of life satisfaction and increased mental and physical health. A study, first published in October 2020, of workers in the US and Mexico showed altruistic behaviors positively impacted emotional well-being and physical health outcomes. The study also suggested that this character strength correlated with better social-connectedness and purpose.
So, how can employers promote this orientation to increase the health of their populations and protect them against work related stress? Join study author Dorota Weziak-Bialowolska, PhD, as she discusses her findings and their applicability in the workplace. This paper won “Paper of the Year” in 2021 from the American Journal of Health Promotion.
