Use of survey data in a corporatewide health promotion program: The MetLife experience.
MetLife developed a corporate-wide health promotion program based on a survey of its employees, its local management, and its medical personnel. The survey's goals were to determine the wellness topics of greatest interest to employees, as well as topics believed by local management and medical personnel to be of greatest need. There was surprising unanimity concerning what employees said they wanted and what managers and medical personnel believed were needed. Stress management--including relaxation techniques and time management skills--was high on all three surveys, as were the basic of nutrition, exercise, healthy aging, cancer, and men's and women's health issues.
