The National\nAeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) workforce is highly skilled and competitive\nand employees frequently work under intense pressure to ensure mission success.\nThe Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer at NASA requested that the\nInstitute of Medicine review its occupational health programs, assess employee awareness\nof and attitude toward those programs, recommend options for future worksite\npreventive health programs, and ways to evaluate their effectiveness. The committee\u2019s\nfindings show that although NASA has a history of being forward-looking in designing\nand improving health and wellness programs, there is a need to move from a\ntraditional occupational health model to an integrated, employee-centered program\nthat could serve as a national model for both public and private employers to emulate\nand improve the health and performance of their workforces.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/11290/integrating-employee-health-a-model-program-for-nasa", year = 2005, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
