We’re getting unhappier at work

Southerners responding to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index last month indicated their work environments are worsening. The South’s score is now below the national average for the first time since March. View the full study here.
The workplace is getting worse, but we’re handling it pretty well

One of the main data nuggets in this month’s Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index is a significant drop in the quality of the work environment. But it appears most Americans are dealing with the professional hardship pretty effectively, given that the index’s life evaluation component is rising nicely, especially in the South and Midwest.

Way to be more ‘well’
Posted on July 9, 2009 at 1:36 pmApparently, according to the June well-being index released by Healthways and Gallup Inc., we’re doing better
After tracking significant setbacks in well-being through the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the June Well-Being Report shows America may be on the road to recovery. Overall well-being reached 66.8, its second highest level since the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index™ (WBI) began in January 2008. The Life Evaluation Index (LEI), one of the six sub-indices composing the WBI, stabilized after dramatic gains over the past few months, ending at 47.8, a new high for the LEI beating the previous high from May 2009 of 47.5.

Nashville an oasis of well-being in Tennessee
Posted on March 10, 2009 at 6:54 am
A new collaboration between Healthways, Gallup and insurance trade group AHIP ranks Americans’ well-being by state and congressional district. Tennessee as a whole is part of the bottom 10, but the Fifth and Seventh Congressional Districts that cover the Nashville MSA both rank in the top third, scoring particularly well in work quality. (Note: You’ll have to register to check out the numbers up close.)

‘You’re all worthless and weak!’… Well, maybe just a little unhealthy
Posted on January 15, 2009 at 3:06 pmHealthways, in conjunction with polling giant Gallup, today announced that, amid the current financial turmoil, wellbeing has seen declines across the country.
“We saw moderate to significant declines in all but one of the sub-indices that comprise the Well-Being Index,” said Jim Pope, M.D., Healthways chief science officer. “As anticipated, the greatest decline was reflected in the Life Evaluation sub-index, but the trend that may be of most long-term concern was the decrease in Healthy Behaviors.”
So all of you feeling bad about your life should maybe stop curing it with one, or a combination, of the following: Ice cream, booze and cigarettes…
* All of a sudden we just remembered we need to run by the store on the way home.
