The European Network for Workplace Health Promotion has defined workplace health promotion as the combined efforts of employers, employees and society to improve the health and well-being of people at work. This vision of workplace health promotion places particular emphasis on improving the work organization and working environment, increasing workers’ participation in shaping the working environment, and encouraging personal skills and professional development. The workplace offers special opportunities for the encouragement of healthy lifestyles, and this can have benefits for employers in terms of improved staff morale and productivity and reduced sickness absence.
