A new Consumer Health Mindset survey by Aon Hewitt finds that employees “who see their organizations as having a strong culture of health are happier, less stressed, and more likely to take control of their well-being than other employees,” according to Business and Legal Resources.

Here are the main findings:

• Employees who work in strong cultures of health were more likely to say they have control over their health than employees at companies where health is less of a priority.
• Employees at companies with strong cultures of health were less likely to report that stress has a negative impact on their work.
• 66 percent of employees in strong health cultures said they were “happy” or “extremely happy” with their lives compared to just 32 percent of those who worked in weak health cultures.

“This year's report also analyzed the responses of employees who work at organizations with strong cultures of health–or organizations that prioritize and encourage healthy behaviors in the workplace–and compared them to employees' responses in organizations that do not. For example, 66 percent of employees at organizations with strong cultures of health report that their direct managers support their efforts to achieve their health goals, compared with 11 percent of employees at organizations with weak cultures of health.”
