Zusammenfassung
Strengthening personal health resources is an important aspect of "Health promotion at the
workplace’’. Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) is the combined effort of employers,
employees and society to improve the health and well-being of people at work. This can be
achieved through a combination of improving the work organization and the working
environment, promoting active participation, and encouraging personal development. The
question is how employers can best provide access to high quality tools and blended
learning programmes which enhance workers’ health behaviors. While acknowledging the
individual’s responsibility for his or her own health, this set of activities focuses on the role of
the environment and the managers or employers. The attention here is on the organization
and design of work in both its physical and psychosocial dimensions. Our task is to identify,
prioritize and validate those instruments, which are most appropriate for specific cultures,
environments and technologies as guided by the principles of the WHO healthy workplace
model. The connection between the physical and psychosocial environments is influenced by
high level management choices and decisions about how work will be organised. The
psychosocial environment is essential for a health promotion climate. Consequently, the
workplace is seen primarily as a venue through which various health promotion programmes
can be delivered. Supportive management climate refers to organizing work in ways that
promote rather than defeat health of employees. This means maximizing the degree to which
employees participate in the governance of their own work (including the maintenance of a
physically safe environment), and providing adequate recognition and acknowledgment for
good work. In this way, management will communicate their serious intention to create those
working conditions that lies in the focus of the connection between the organization of work
and health. WHP consists of policies based on programmes, projects or instruments such as
questionnaires, guidelines and information materials, programmes on the prevention of
addictive drugs (such as alcohol abuse, smoking), the promotion of healthy eating habits,
opportunities for physical activity, addressing mental health and stress, promoting family
friendly working conditions and providing diversity training programmes.
