Health in the American Workplace
Are We Doing Enough?

Summary

Brief Video Highlight

HEALTH IN THE AMERICAN WORKPLACE: Are We Doing Enough?
Presented in Collaboration with The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR

For good or for bad, jobs impact employees’ health. From stress levels, to eating habits, to worries about workplace violence and toxic exposures, people confront a variety of challenges on the job. This Forum event drew on the findings of a just released poll about the workplace and health by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. A panel of experts in workplace culture and public opinion took on the concerns most expressed by employees – as well as described lessons learned from employers that cultivate healthy environments – to see if there are feasible measures to produce a more accessible, supportive, healthier workplace.
