“…Because aerobic physical activity is critical to health, occupational health programs should include exercise programs for employees at work (e.g., Couch to 5k program, 10,000 Steps program). Due to exercise equipment not being available to many employees working in rural areas or small industries, management should consider on-site exercise equipment to promote employee health (Carter, Gaskins, & Shaw, 2005).…”

The aim of this study was to assess differences in self-reported health status, body mass index (BMI), and healthy lifestyle behaviors between Baby Boomer and Generation X faculty and staff at a southeastern university. Data were drawn from employee health risk assessment and BMI measures. A total of 730 Baby Boomer and 765 Generation X employees enrolled in a university health promotion and screening program were included in the study. Ordered logistic regressions were calculated separately for BMI, perceived health status, and three healthy lifestyle behaviors. After covariates such as job role, gender, race, education, and income were controlled, Baby Boomers were more likely than Generation X employees to report better health status and dietary habits. Baby Boomers were also more likely to engage in weekly aerobic physical activity (p < .001) yet were also at greater risk of being overweight and obese. The results highlight the need to consider generational differences when developing health promotion programs.

Historically the predominant models of programming have evolved from mid to large size employer settings. Yet the majority of employees in any given community work for organizations that employ fewer than 500 employees. These small employers also constitute a disproportionate majority of all employers. Wellness practitioners need to develop programming models and strategies that are designed specifically for these small employer organizations. This article establishes a perspective for bringing wellness to the small employer based on recent research and considering the implications of the differences between small and large employers from a programming perspective. Finally, several anticipated aspects of future programming are described along with summary conclusions.

“İş yerinde refah” terimi, yıllar içerisinde literatürde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır ve hem işçilerin sağlığı hem de işin verimliliği ve karlılığı açısından çok etkili olduğu konusunda geniş bir tanı vardır. İşyeri Refahı; çalışma ortamının, fiziksel ortamın kalitesi ve güvenliğinden, çalışanların işlerini nasıl hissettikleri, çalışma ortamları, çalışma ortamı ve iş organizasyonu ile ilgili tüm yönleriyle ilgilidir. İşyerinde refah için alınacak önlemlerin amacı, işçilerin güvenli, sağlıklı, memnun ve iş ile meşgul olmalarını sağlamak için İSG önlemlerini tamamlamaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, petrokimya ürünleri üreten bir fabrikada çalışan işçilere yönelik çalışma refahı ile ilgili farkındalığı arttırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. İzmir ili Aliağa ilçesinde bulunan petrokimya üreten fabrikada çalışan tüm beyaz yakalı çalışanların evreni temsil ettiği varsayılmaktadır. Araştırmada veriler görüşme formunda bulunan soruların cevaplandırılmasıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışanların bu sorulara doğru cevap verdiği varsayılmıştır. Toplam 50 kişi ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda odaklanılması gereken en önemli üç çalışma refahı konusu sırasıyla stres (%45,5), ergonomi (%37,3) ve sağlıklı çalışma ortamı (%31) olarak tespit edilmiştir.
