One metric we often look at to determine success in worksite wellness is how many people participate. If we are getting low participation, we often send out surveys asking employees if there are better wellness topics we can offer or what times we should hold events. We rarely focus on what’s called the psychosocial factors (how we perceive our work environment) that impact participation.  Today’s guest, Dr. Mahban Sangachin, published a study titled “Interactive effects of work psychosocial factors on participation in worksite wellness programs.” Specifically, she studied the effects of job demand, work control and social support on worksite wellness participation. There’s not much research on these factors when it comes to corporate wellness so I wanted to bring Mahban’s key findings to light.  In this interview, Mahban explains what got her interested in the research, she walks us through her research methods and the key findings. She also addresses limitations of the study because of course, every study has its limitations. Hopefully this is just the start of further research! Announcement: I’m holding another small group training from July 15 to August 19, 2019. This is a 6-week weekly session where we briefly cover a Next Generation Wellness topic then spend time discussing how (or if) it would work in your organization or clients. There will only be 7 spots open and I haven’t opened registration yet. If you’re interested, use this contact form to let me know or if you want more info.
