Supporting School Staff: Insights from Employee Health and Well-Being Programs
Pitt Barnes, Seraphine; Lang, Jason E.
Journal of School Health, v93 n9 p842-852 Sep 2023
Background: The workplace is an important setting for health protection, health promotion, and disease prevention programs. In the school setting, employee health and well-being programs can address many physical and emotional concerns of school staff. This systematic review summarizes evidence-based approaches from employee health and well-being interventions supporting nutrition and physical activity (PA) in a variety of workplace settings. Methods: The 2-phase systematic review included a search for articles within systematic reviews that met our criteria (addressing employee health and well-being programs; published 2010-2018; Phase 1) and the identification of individual articles from additional searches (addressing school-based employee interventions; published 2010-2020; Phase 2). We included 35 articles. Findings: Across all studies and types of interventions and workplace settings, findings were mixed; however, multicomponent interventions appeared to improve health behaviors and health outcomes among employees. Implications for School Health Policy, Practice, and Equity: Schools can apply this evidence from employee health and well-being programs in various workplace settings to implement coordinated and comprehensive employee health and well-being programs. Conclusions: Employee health and well-being programs may be effective at supporting nutrition and PA. Schools can use findings from employee health and well-being programs in workplaces other than schools to support school staff.
