| description | One of the effective approaches to the prevention of noncommunicable diseases and the extension of labor potential is the introduction of workplace wellbeing programs (WWPs). The implementation of WWPs and the formation of health promotion working conditions contribute to improvement of the wellbeing and quality of life of employees, reduce presenteeism, absenteeism and improve the economic performance of the company.Aim. To assess the experience of implementing the WWPs among employers in Russia using the ATRIA electronic platform.Material and methods. Experts from the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine have developed a set of tools (a questionnaire for employers and employees) to assist in the development and implementation of WWPs. A link to an ATRIA electronic platform was sent to the chief external specialists in preventive medicine to ensure a wide coverage of the country’s population. The survey was conducted from April 2020 to October 2021.Results. The survey involved 181 employers and 7500 employees (women, 63,2%, n=4735), but not every respondent answered all questions. The companies related to education, science and culture (23,8%, n=43), metallurgy/mining (19,9%, n=36) and chemical/ petrochemical industry (11,6%, n=21). The majority of employers (73%; n=73) consider it necessary to develop and implement WWPs, while the majority of them (66,9%, n=121) were not familiar with such programs. Companies mainly implement health examinations (79,4%, n=100), vaccination (78,6%, n=99), measures aimed at increasing the physical activity (73,8%, n=93). Only 50% of employers evaluate the effectiveness of WWPs: according to a survey of employees — 41,2% (n=47), according to temporary disability rate — 27,2% (n=31), according to staff turnover — 13,2% (n=15). Through the implementation of the WWPs, employers expect to improve employee health (94,4%, n=171), employee satisfaction (81,2%, n=147), morale (77,3%, n=140) and workforce productivity (75,1%, n=136).Conclusion. The prevalence of WWPs in Russia varies depending on the industry, the entities involved in its implementation, the nature of work and the number of employees, which creates health inequalities and justifies the need to develop targeted interventions and measures to implement WWPs. |
