Where Do you Go for Financial Advice?
That was the key finding of the "2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce " by Families and Work Institute authors Kerstin Aumann and Ellen Galinsky. To support their suggestion of unhealthy workplaces, Aumann and Galinsky point to the fact that: employees' physical health shows downward trends, with men's health deteriorating more than women's; a large proportion of the workforce shows signs of clinical depression; sleep problems are pervasive; stress levels are rising. "The work environment-where each of us spends most of our waking hours-has a considerable impact on our health and well-being," the study report indicated. "Improving the work environment is a low- to no-cost investment that every employer should make if we are truly to reform health care, reduce spiraling health care expenditures and actually improve health in America."
