The main result of the study was about the employees' attitudes to the wellness allowance. There are obstacles for the employees regarding physical activity and the organizational culture has a contributing factor to the utilization of the wellness allowance.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Ökad användning av friskvårdsbidrag bland anställda kan vara ett nyckelverktyg för att främja hälsa och välbefinnande. Friskvårdsbidrag kan minska risken för sjukdomar, öka produktiviteten och hålla en balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och få en ökad förståelse för bakomliggande faktorer och medarbetarnas upplevelse av outnyttjat friskvårdsbidrag. Metod: Detta är en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerade intervjuer. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys genomfördes för att analysera intervjudata genom meningsbärande enhet, kondenserad enhet och kategori. Resultat: Fyra huvudkategorier hittades utifrån innehållsanalys: (1) aspekter gällande friskvårdsbidrag, (2) organisationskultur med underkategorins samtalsämne och informationsspridning, (3) attityder kring friskvårdsbidrag och (4) hinder för fysisk aktivitet. Huvudresultatet av studien handlade om de anställdas inställning till friskvårdsbidraget. Det finns hinder för medarbetarna när det gäller fysisk aktivitet och organisationskulturen har en bidragande orsak till utnyttjandet av friskvårdsbidraget. Slutsats: Denna studie fann att det inte finns några negativa erfarenheter av friskvårdsbidraget ur respondenternas perspektiv. Organisationskulturen kan ses som en faktor till varför anställda inte väljer att använda friskvårdsbidraget. Respondenterna var inte själva insatta i vad de kan använda sitt friskvårdsbidrag till.
