Worksite wellness programs have continued to draw interest from multiple sectors as businesses seek to compete in a global economy, reduce skyrocketing healthcare costs, and comply with the Affordable Care Act. Many corporate leaders and public health experts believe that worksite wellness programs can play a valuable role in the national public health strategy to address the increase in chronic diseases and related costs; however, participation rates remain low for most organizations, including hospitals. This study aimed to uncover the factors and conditions that influence employee engagement in worksite wellness activities by exploring individual perceptions and influencing factors relating to health behaviors and worksite wellness programs. The study was grounded in the theoretical framework of the ecological model. The study was primarily qualitative with a quantitative component.

520 $a Worksite wellness programs have continued to draw interest from multiple sectors as businesses seek to compete in a global economy, reduce skyrocketing healthcare costs, and comply with the Affordable Care Act. Many corporate leaders and public health experts believe that worksite wellness programs can play a valuable role in the national public health strategy to address the increase in chronic diseases and related costs; however, participation rates remain low for most organizations, including hospitals. This study aimed to uncover the factors and conditions that influence employee engagement in worksite wellness activities by exploring individual perceptions and influencing factors relating to health behaviors and worksite wellness programs. The study was grounded in the theoretical framework of the ecological model. The study was primarily qualitative with a quantitative component.
520 $a The study sample consisted of 30 employees in an urban specialty hospital, 15 who had participated in a worksite wellness program and 15 who had not. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and a questionnaire comprised of demographics, self-rated health, general self-efficacy, perceived organizational support, and Stanford presenteeism scales was administered.
520 $a The participant group scored higher on all scales. Participants and non-participants concurred on conceptualization of worksite wellness programs and most barriers and supports. Primary barriers to participation for both groups were time factors, participants cited leadership, and some non-participants lacked computer access. Leading participant facilitators were personal commitment and responsibility, peers, and incentives. Intrinsic motivation was expressed by the majority of participants. Potential facilitators for non-participants were program promotion, improved access, leadership support, group/peer activities, and availability of healthier food options.
520 $a In conclusion, improving promotion, expanding access, enhancing incentives, and introduction of intrinsic motivators could stimulate participation. Future studies of how to move individuals from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation and program planning to meet the unique jobs demands of hospital settings may also provide valuable insight. Worksite wellness participants and non-participants alike appeared eager to create a culture of health, but the organization must take the lead in fostering a wellness paradigm. Engaging key stakeholders at the executive level would be essential to the success of any worksite wellness initiative.
