Most adults spend more time at work than anywhere else. And work has a significant impact on all aspects of our wellbeing. According to Gallup, people who are thriving in all aspects of wellbeing are healthier and more engaged at work. Yet 6 in 10 adults in the US have a chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, or depression, which impacts their ability to function and feel well both at work and at home.
While we may not be able to control everything that impacts our health and wellbeing, such as workload, genes, or environment, we can control how we take care of ourselves. Most chronic diseases are caused by lifestyle habits, such as poor eating habits, not getting any exercise, using tobacco or too much alcohol, and not sleeping enough.
Employers have a unique opportunity to improve their employees’ wellbeing, which will also impact their productivity and engagement at work. The June Wellbeing Toolkit (ZIP) includes materials that can be shared with your groups.
