Workplace health promotion (WHP) sounds like a huge amount of work at first. But don't worry, it's not rocket science and the benefits are enormous! In this article, we explain why WHP is important and how companies can benefit from it.
Spoiler: It's all about happy, healthy employees and fewer sick days. Who doesn't want that?
What is workplace health promotion?
Workplace health promotion, or WHP for short, encompasses all measures aimed at maintaining and promoting the health of employees. The aim is to create healthy working conditions and support health-conscious behavior. And no, it's not just about fruit baskets in the office (although those are great too).
Advantages of BGF for companies
Why should your company invest in WHP? Here are a few good reasons:
- Increase in employee satisfaction: When employees feel valued and supported, they are more motivated and happier.
- Reduction of absenteeism: Healthy employees are sick less often. Fewer sick days mean less absenteeism and more productivity.
- Improving employee health: Preventive measures keep your team fit and vital.
Practical measures for the implementation of BGF
Here are some simple but effective measures that you can implement immediately:
- Introduction of company fitness programs: Organize weekly fitness classes or joint running groups.
- Active breaks: Plan short mobilization or relaxation sessions 2-3 times a week directly at the workplace.
- Organization of company challenges: How about a walking competition? It's fun and promotes good health.
- Health-promoting working environment: Ergonomic furniture, healthy snacks and a pleasant room design can work wonders.
