Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to assess for evidence of presenteeism and to evaluate interest for a stress reduction mental and physical fitness program that is based on a wholistic (whole person) mind-body relationship called "One Body." The research survey results will be used answer two specific research questions: (1) does presenteeism exist in this population, (2) does the study population exhibit an interest in a stress reduction fitness program such as "One Body." This quantitative and exploratory, descriptive research study will utilize a web-based survey hosted by Survey Monkey. Following IRB approvals the survey will be distributed for two weeks in October-November 2015. Data analysis and construction of manuscript will occur December 2015- March 2016. Research results are pending but it is thought that the "One Body" fitness program may help a health care agency staff manage stress. Offering employees a mechanism to manage their stress could alleviate the symptoms that underlie presenteeism, improve the quality of an individual's experience within the working environment, and may lead to increased employee productivity.
