Employee Wellness in the Private Club Industry

Employee wellness in the private club industry is discussed relative to the seven wellness dimensions: physical, intellectual, social, occupational, spiritual, emotional, and environmental. Food and beverage employees (n = 125) responded to a set of 42 holistic wellness questions describing their behaviors, nine demographic questions, and one question on their perceived health. Behavior questions were a subset of the validated 100 question TestWell, Wellness Inventory. The regression model was found to be a significant predictor of perceived health. As expected, the researchers of this study found that the seven dimensions are significantly correlated, suggesting that improving employee wellness involves a holistic approach to improving all dimensions of wellness. Significant differences were found among respondents based on job type, education, ethnicity, and perceived health relative to the seven wellness dimensions. Insight is provided as to the relationship of the wellness dimensions to club management and creating employee wellness opportunities for club employees.
