In Canada priority issues for Canadian employers are mental health issues like stress, work/life balance, and depression. However, when these employers were polled almost less than half of them offer wellness programs that target employee stress like caregiver support, person health/lifestyle coaching, and work/life balance support. Most wellness programs deal with physical health. The increased response to bettering wellness programs is coming from the recognition that healthier employees are financial more valuable and that it will also increase engagement levels as health risks decrease. “The survey has identified what refers to as an emerging “culture of health” ; defined as an organizational climate that promotes healthy lifestyle choices.” Approximately 54% of Canadian respondents said they have a strong or fairly strong “culture of health” in the workplace.
