However, due to the unique hospitality job conditions and requirements, employee wellness programs usually suffer from low participation and engagement.

Based on the review findings, the paper suggests effective and plausible solutions to generate high participation and engagement with employee wellness programs in the hospitality workplaces. Limitations and future research directions are discussed in the end of the paper. 论酒店企业员工健康计划的创新:以高科技公司为鉴 摘要 众所周知,员工健康计划给企业带来很多好处。然而,由于酒店工作条件和要求的独特性,员工健康计划通常都遇到低参与度和低热情的问题。本论文审阅了各种高科技公司的员工健康计划以及一些享誉美名‘适宜工作’的酒店公司的相关政策。基于这些审阅,本论文提出针对酒店工作环境,一些创新员工健康计划的意见,旨在提高员工的参与度和热情。本章末尾还提出了研究限制以及未来研究方向。 关键词”: 高科技公司,酒店工作场所,员工健康计划,高参与度,谷歌公司,苹果公司
