Corporate Culture Audit

Work environments are often not conducive to healthy lifestyle practices, making it difficult for individuals to achieve improved health with meaningful results. The Lifegain Health Culture Audit, offered in conjunction with Dr. Judd Allen, assesses the impact of workplace culture upon health practices. Results from the survey offer insight into which health practices are likely to take root in the current workplace environment. And, perhaps more importantly, the Lifegain Health Culture Audit is a valuable tool in planning the systematic change of those aspects of the culture that fail to support-or even interfere with-efforts to adopt healthy lifestyles.

In addition to standard health behavior, demographic, and employment classification questions, the Lifegain Health Culture Audit measures four cultural factors that play major roles in determining which lifestyle changes people attempt, and whether or not they succeed. These are: (1) shared values; (2) cultural norms; (3) peer support; and (4) organizational support. Examined together, these measures reveal the impact of the work culture on its members' health behavior.
