Worksite Health Promotion

• Worksite policies and programs may help employees reduce health risks and improve their quality of life.
• Worksite interventions can be delivered:
  • At the worksite (e.g., signs to encourage stair use, health education classes)
  • At other locations (e.g., gym membership discounts, weight management counseling)
  • Through the employee health benefits plan (e.g., flu shots, cancer screenings)
