Figures & data

Figure 1. Unadjusted proportions of employee health and well-being outcomes, by workplace inclusiveness. Source: SHRM National Study of the Changing Workforce 2016.

Note: <Q1 and >Q3 respectively denote the proportion of employees reporting the adverse outcome in workplaces with scores below the 1st quartile and in workplaces with scores above the third quartile of the distribution of overall inclusiveness scores. (N for <Q1 subsamples=352–369 and N for >Q3 subsamples=358–365). ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, +p < 0.10. Please see Appendix C for unadjusted proportions of employee outcomes, by each of the four workplace components of workplace inclusiveness.

Note: Adverse life events refer to at least one of the following in the past 12 months –close relative or friend passed away, had a serious illness, started caregiving for someone with a serious illness/ health condition, was unemployed for part of the year, close coworkers were laid off, or spouse was laid off. N = 1413 (adverse life-event subsample = 762, no adverse life-event subsample = 651). ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, +p < 0.10.

Note: Predicted probabilities from logistic regression of fair/poor self-rated health on inclusiveness score, adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, partner, caregiver, occupation, fulltime, schedule, sector, earnings, industry, financial security and health condition. Regressions use survey sampling weights.
