Health promotion has been defined by the World Health Organization as “the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health”

Worksite health promotion

Health promotion can be performed in various locations. Among the settings that have received special attention are the community, health care facilities, schools, and worksites.

Worksite health promotion, also known by terms such as “workplace health promotion,” has been defined as “the combined efforts of employers, employees and society to improve the health and well-being of people at work”^.

WHO states that the workplace “has been established as one of the priority settings for health promotion into the 21st century” because it influences “physical, mental, economic and social well-being” and “offers an ideal setting and infrastructure to support the promotion of health of a large audience”.

Worksite health promotion programs (also called “workplace health promotion programs,” “worksite wellness programs,” or “workplace wellness programs”) include exercise, nutrition, smoking cessation and mental health awareness and  stress management.
