Myers-Briggs studied workplace wellness for three years and found that relationships with fellow employees matter the most to the more than 10,000 people they studied from 131 countries.
In addition to the job itself – service related work coming out on top – age, gender, job satisfaction, higher commitment to the organization, social giving, a sense of accomplishment, and plans to stay put were among the things that played a role employee well-being.
Here are some ways to improve your workplace wellness:
-
- Keep (healthy) food or snacks available

- Hold a health-driven competition
- Model and reward gratitude
- Create physical and mental wellness policies
