Employee Health Promotion Strategies: Effecting Change through a Culture of Health

Companies that embrace a culture of health not only improve employee health and productivity levels, but also augment profitability and shareholder value. And when the C-suite is visibly on board with this attitude shift, employees are quick to follow. In Employee Health Promotion Strategies: Effecting Change through a Culture of Health, HealthFitness President and CEO Gregg Lehman details the process and challenges of creating a corporate culture of health and the payoffs in improved worker health and safety that can result. To describe how one company overcame a "benefit entitlement mentality," Lehman is joined by Eastman Chemical Company's David Sensibaugh, who chronicles the development of a culture of health at Eastman Chemical Company and how this attitudinal shift has impacted the health and welfare of Eastman Chemical's 3,000 shift workers. In this case study of employee health promotion in a manufacturing setting, Sensibaugh addresses the specific challenges of fostering health when employees work 12-hour rotating shifts among several locations.
