Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Public Health
  • Health Promotion

Background:

  • Chronic diseases constitute a significant portion of US mortality and healthcare expenditure.
  • Worksite wellness programs are crucial for chronic disease prevention due to employees' time spent at work.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic prompted widespread shifts to remote work, necessitating adaptation of workplace strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on worksite wellness programs.
  • To identify challenges and successes encountered by these programs during the pandemic.
  • To gather insights for sustaining wellness programs in non-traditional work environments.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative data was collected through semistructured interviews.
  • Interviews were conducted and recorded via Zoom conferencing.
  • Thematic analysis was used to identify key findings from the interview data.

Main Results:

  • Four primary themes emerged: remote relationship building, creative program delivery, enhanced physical activity and work-life balance, and increased health/mental health resource awareness.
  • Both challenges and successes were reported across these themes.
  • The overall experience of worksite wellness programs during the pandemic was predominantly positive.

Conclusions:

  • Worksite wellness programs adapted successfully to remote work environments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The study provides valuable lessons for designing and maintaining effective wellness programs outside traditional office settings.
  • Organizations continuing remote or hybrid work models can leverage these findings to support employee well-being.
