OVERVIEW
 What is a healthy workplace?
 Comprehensive workplace health
 Putting it into practice
HEALTHY WORKPLACE DEFINED
 A healthy workplace integrates the
following three elements to achieve
optimal health of its people and its
business:
 Health and lifestyle practices (availability of resources and
support of employees’ efforts to adopt and maintain healthy
lifestyle practices)
 Organizational culture (attitudes, values and beliefs
demonstrated in the workplace on a daily basis that impact
the well-being of employees)
 Physical work environment
Source: The definition of a healthy workplace is consistent with
models promoted by Health Canada, the National Quality
Institute,
the Ontario Healthy Workplace Coalition, and the Forum on the
Advancement of Healthy Workplaces
WHY IS A HEALTHY WORKPLACE IMPORTANT?
 16 million adult Canadians spend half of their
waking hours at work — the environments in
which people live, learn, work and play have
a significant impact on health (Public Health Agency of
Canada)
 Healthy employees have higher morale, are
more productive, and report higher levels of
job satisfaction (Public Health Agency of Canada)
 Absenteeism costs are in excess of 15 billion
dollars a year in Canada (Buffet Taylor Report 2003)
BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES
 Improved fitness, health, and lifestyle
 Improved work/life balance
 Improved morale and engagement
 Improved team spirit and job satisfaction
 Reduced stress and incidences of injury
 Enhanced relationships with co-workers
Source: Public Health Agency of Canada
BENEFITS WITHIN THE WORKPLACE
 Reduced absenteeism and turnover
 Reduced benefits claims
 Enhanced recruitment and retention
 Enhanced reputation
Source: Public Health Agency of Canada
THE EVIDENCE: BENEFITS WITHIN THE
WORKPLACE
 Healthier employees:
 In the first six months of Toronto’s “Metro Fit” program, municipal employees
saw marked improvements in their health and resilience and reported 3.5
fewer sick days
 MDS Nordion employees enjoyed similar health benefits and were sick less
often than in previous years (fewer than 4 days per year compared with the
Canadian average of 7.4 days per year)
 Continuity in the workplace:
 BC Hydro employees enrolled in the fitness program had a turnover rate of
3.5% compared to the company average of 10.3%
THE EVIDENCE: BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES
 Increasing physical activity to at least 30
minutes per day at least 5 days per week
lowers the risk of developing coronary
heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes,
high blood pressure, and colon cancer by
30 – 50% (National Association of Physical Activity and Health)
 Within 48 hours of stopping smoking,
chances of having a heart attack start to
decrease
 within 1 year, risk of suffering a smoking-related heart attack is cut in
half
 within 10 years, risk of dying from lung cancer is cut in half
 Within 15 years, the risk of dying from a heart attack is equal to a
person who never smoked (Health Canada)
THE EVIDENCE: BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES
(CONT’D)
 Workplace stair-climbing interventions:
Climbing two flights of stairs per day can lead
to a 2.7 kg (5.9 lbs) weight loss over one
year
 Six flights a day can lead to an 8.2 kg (18
lbs) weight loss over one year
Source: Public Health Agency of Canada

 Addresses employee health

 Evaluated and adapted to meet changing nature of work force and needs of
employees
