At times Corporate Health Promotion Programs have been instituted as public relations vehicles intended to enhance the company image with little concern for improvements in worker health. Companies who are truly committed to enhancing worker health and wellness, are corporations who have worked to include Corporate Health Promotion Programs into the corporation’s mission statement. With this commitment, policies and procedures can be written to address short and long term goals of increased worker health, productivity, and morale. These policies and procedures are critical to the establishment of supportive organizational cultures conducive to worker health and wellness.
• Active worker involvement in Company Wellness Program committees and corporation decision making
• Availability of flextime work schedules
• No smoking policy
• Drug use policy and drug screening
• Motor vehicle seatbelts and the use of other protective/safety equipment
• Sexual harassment policy
• Family leave initiatives
• Consistent and frequent awards and recognition of worker work efforts
