Abstract

This case study seeks to understand workplace wellness activities in organizations in Southern Indiana and Greater Louisville. Utilizing the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Workplace Wellness Health Scorecard, a 125-question survey that covers a diverse set of workplace wellness initiatives, twenty-four organizations participated in the study, with one to four participants from each organization. This study looks at the question of context and how an organization’s supports impacts the health of their workforce. The results found that leveraging the knowledge of experts, implementing a variety of wellness programs, removing obstacles to wellness, and having a caring attitude toward employees lead to a higher score regarding organizational supports on the CDC Health Scorecard.
