that employee health programs can offer by exploring six key topics:
behavioral health, physical health, healthy environments, health
education, nutritional health, and physical activity. This in-depth
resource explicitly establishes what successful workplace health
promotion programs, services, and collaborations are, and then builds
upon this foundational understanding by introducing methods and tools
for promoting employee health and safety, while emphasizing the skills
students need to do so. Through this resource, students will come to
understand how to recognize employee health and safety opportunities,
and how to think on a larger scale when it comes to workplace health
initiatives in small, midsized, and larger employers that are

whole and control healthcare spending in the process. Health problems

per year through medical costs, absenteeism, disability, and overall
reduced productivity. Improving well-being through effective workplace
health promotion programs can reduce this cost—and create healthier,
happier workforces. Discover the design, implementation, and

range of employee health needs and concerns Understand how
evidence-based programs can positively impact business and reduce
health care cost Explore the larger scale implications of successful
workplace health programs, including health policies, health insurance

well-being to support and promote employee health and safety Review
