Unhealthy news

The health of employed Americans is trending downward in a number of important areas, according to a report by the Families and Work Institute. Only 28% of employees today report that their overall health is “excellent,” down from 34% just six years ago. The researchers also found that men’s overall health has declined more rapidly than women’s. The report discusses the relationship between the workplace environment and employee health, underlining the significant role that employers play beyond providing health insurance and wellness programs.
