Healthier Together Workplaces Program
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.
Together we can:
-
Decrease financial costs
-
Improve employee physical and psychological health and safety
-
Enhance corporate social responsibility
