Other programs are simply strongly encouraged by governmentwide guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But according to the WellCheck results, only 87 percent of work sites had strategies to provide the required lactation support to employees, despite the legal requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agencies were most likely to have policies that encouraged reporting of injuries and near misses, with 93 percent of those surveyed having a program that fulfilled that requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having one or more functioning automated external defibrillators, promoting flu vaccinations and providing supports for recreation and physical activity were also common practices at a majority of agencies surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOn average, agencies scored the highest in addressing vaccine-preventable diseases, occupational health and safety, and tobacco-free living. Agencies have the most room for improvement in the areas of nutrition, organizational supports, and supports for nursing employees,\u201d acting OPM Director Margaret Weichert wrote in a memo addressing the results of the evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But participation in WellCheck dropped significantly from years prior, cutting nearly in half from the 361 work sites that participated in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To improve their scores, agencies were encouraged to first implement the strategies required by law and governmentwide policy, then prioritize strategies that would offer the highest impact, communicate the importance of employees using their health benefits offered under the <a
