• Description:
  The aim of the study was to determine the impact of a collaborative effort by employers to improve their organizations' cultures of health and well-being.
  
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation partnered with two organizations to help employers use an established methodology-an industry-validated baseline assessment, along with a strategic roadmap and guidance from physician executive experts. Employers implemented this approach and simultaneously participated in a structured monthly learning collaborative.
  
  The average projected improvement in the culture of health scores from baseline to year end was 80 points, moving from 60% to 71% achievement of the benchmark score.
  
  This research demonstrates that employers working collaboratively and following an appropriate sequence of scientific-based approaches can demonstrate a positive trend in organizational cultures of health and well-being scores pointing to the possibility of sustainable culture change.
