Groundbreaking Research
Workplace health and well-being (HWB) is at a critical point in its evolution. Over the past decade, the spiraling cost of health care has become a major concern for corporate executives across the country. Couple this with the heightened interest in the role employee health status plays in presenteeism, absenteeism and productivity, and you will understand why there is a growing interest in workplace HWB among business leaders. To respond to this increasing focus on employee wellness, there is a critical need to create high-quality research that addresses specific health issues.
