Many companies seem to be giving workers one message in wellness mailers and another message in vending machines.
Researchers at Nationwide Better Health, a health management unit of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, Columbus, Ohio, have published data supporting that conclusion in a summary of results from a survey of 2,063 full-time U.S. workers ages 18 and older.
About 66% of the participants said they would use gym memberships, nutrition education and weight management programs if their employer offered those benefits, and only 42% say their employers’ cafeterias and vending machines offer healthy food selections, the researchers report.
