# 100% Autonomy And Your Wellness

In the December [2011 Journal of Health and Social Behavior](http://www.flexiblework.umn.edu/publications_docs/Moen-Kelly-Tranby-Huang-2011-JHSB.pdf), a study by University of Minnesota professors Phyllis Moen and Erin Kelly discussed changes in the health behaviors and actual health of employees who had gone through Results-Only Work Environment™(ROWE™) training.

**Employees in ROWE™ certﬁed teams report better health behaviors in the study**: 

- More sleep (almost an extra hour each night)
- More exercise
- Staying home when sick
- Early treatment for illness

**Employees in ROWE™ certﬁed teams also report greater schedule control and less work-family conflict, which lead to greater health and well-being**:

- Improved mental well-being
-  Reduced stress
- Greater feelings of being in control of one’s life 
- Better overall health
- Improved energy
