Drug Education and Intervention in the Workplace

Employee Engagement is the level at which workers are aligned with and working toward organization goals. Employee Engagement is influenced by a wide range of factors that include internal discussions, organization structure, benefits and recognition.

Businesses that have high levels of employee engagement benefit from better productivity, retention and execution than peers with disengaged staff members.  Levels of engagement among staff members in the United States have been declining over the past decade as individuals have become disillusioned with the treatment of staff members by organizations. The inability to involve staff members is one of the reasons why, despite steady rises in hours worked, America lags behind several other nations in terms of employee productivity per hours worked.

Corporate Health Promotion Programs may increase employee program engagement in several ways. First, when communicated properly, they demonstrate to workers that the business cares about their wellness. This can improve retention and turnover as well as provide a greater discretionary effort from workers. During a period of significant downsizing, Motorola found more of an interest in its Corporate Health Promotion Programs as managers recognized the value of providing for the health and wellness of workers.

In addition, the health improvements will decrease presenteeism and absenteeism (when workers continue to work despite decreased productiveness), allowing for more time spent at full productiveness. Lastly, healthier workers are more likely to have increased morale, which translates into a more enjoyable and more effective work environment.
