Worker's health promotion program: success examples

Abstract

Fortunately, the number of employers that invest in a Workers Health Promotion Program (WHPP) is increasing because the companies’ balance-sheets demonstrate that healthy employees produce more and costs less. The aim of this article is to illustrate examples identifi ed in Brazilian and foreign companies who have innovated when implanting and/or expanding their WHPP, allowing the company to profi t as a result of the project. Using methods that range from offering medical testing at the workplace, to seminars on stress management, a WHPP ultimately, benefits the quality of life of employees.
