Healthier Together Workplaces Program

Together, we can decrease financial costs, improve employee physical and psychological health & safety, and enhance corporate social responsibility.

Just as workplace safety programs have protected workers from injury, effective workplace health programs reduce health risks and improve quality of life for the roughly 2.5 million Alberta workers. On average Albertans spend 35 hours per week at work, this means that for almost half (44%) of our waking hours our working environment is influencing the choices we make around our health.

The Healthier Together Workplaces Program offers you a step by step process with easy to use tools and resources to promote employee health and well-being.

"I don’t think anybody’s ever starting from scratch. I think there’s always little bits and pieces that you’re doing that would be either a good start or a good middle to a wellness program, and contributing to a healthy workplace"

- Tanya Kendall ACP, Edmonton Oliver Primary Care Network

"We’re a small company as well – we have about 80 people here… when I started talking about health, and how our company cares about you, wants to get you better, [employees] felt like more a part of something and they wanted to do better."
