Improving Wellness in the Workplace

Workplace environments that facilitate employees' healthy lifestyle choices have been shown to help reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, improve employee recruiting and retention, reduce health care costs and improve employee satisfaction. To improve employee health and relieve the burden of rising health care costs, The Duke Endowment in 1996 launched a four-year, $5.7 million effort to encourage hospitals to promote preventative strategies in the workplace.
