Health-promoting physical work environments have the potential to improve employee well-being and decrease burnout and turnover rates. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate this association. This session will highlight key points of the study. Join us to explore the identification of health-supportive design characteristics, the development of an audit tool to objectively capture the quality of physical work environments, and findings related to the quality of the physical work environments in 10 LTC (long-term care) facilities and employee well-being. Plus, learn about data analysis as well as recommendations for policy and practice.
Learning Objectives
- Review key healthy-building strategies that can be used when designing physical work environments in non-desk-centered work environments.
- Discover the challenges of using employee perception data to assess the quality of physical work environments.
- Learn how to formulate your own theories on how the quality of physical work environments impact employee health and well-being.
- Discuss how policy needs to better address the quality of physical work environments in healthcare facilities.
