Creating Cultures of Health

Less than 5% of Americans are sufficiently active, eat a healthy diet, or maintain a healthy weight. And many suffer from chronic health conditions and workplace stress that cost employers billions yearly in lost productivity and higher healthcare costs.

But while employee health is increasingly a priority for US employers, many workplace wellbeing programs are only partially successful because they expect individuals to be responsible for changing their behaviors.

In this podcast, Dr. Richard Safeer, the Chief Medical Director of Employee Health and Well-Being at Johns Hopkins Medicine, who also leads the Healthy at Hopkins employee health and well-being strategy, provides an evidence-based roadmap for creating and shaping a culture of health. 

In this podcast, which draws from Dr. Safeer’s new book, A Cure for the Common Company: A Well-Being Prescription for a Happier, Healthier, and More Resilient Organization, you’ll learn:

• How “cultures of health” can maximize well-being outcomes
• A step-by-step roadmap to creating a culture of health
• The roles of shared values, social climates, and peer support   
• The business benefits of creating successful well-being cultures
• Lessons from Johns Hopkins’ wellness initiative
