Question:

Suppose you worked at a company that implemented a new wellness policy that required that you take health screenings each year for weight, cholesterol, tobacco use, and other health indicators. According to the wellness policy, if you do not achieve a high enough wellness score you will be required to make changes in your diet, exercise habits, or eliminate tobacco. Those who do not com- ply with the wellness policy face financial penalties. How would this wellness policy make you feel about working for this employer? Would you feel better (the employer cares about my health), worse (the employer is being unfair by trying to regulate my lifestyle), or indifferent to your employer for having this wellness policy? How would the policy affect your job behavior? Would you increase your effort, maintain it, decrease it, or start looking for another job? What explains your positive or negative reactions to this wellness policy? When called upon by your instructor, be prepared to offer your reactions to the wellness policy to other members of the class and see how they compare.
