Know Your Numbers ~ Employers

As an employer, you can help improve the health of your employees and create healthier communities by promoting physical activity in your workplace and surrounding community.

The workplace provides many opportunities for promoting health and emotional well-being and preventing disease and injury. Workplace health programs can:

• Influence social norms.
• Establish health-promoting policies.
• Increase healthy behaviors such as dietary and physical activity changes.
• Improve employees’ health knowledge and skills.
• Help employees get necessary health screenings, immunizations, and follow-up care.
• Reduce employees’ on-the-job exposure to substances and hazards that can cause diseases and injury.
