Health Promotion

Health promotion is also often seen as educating staff about a healthy lifestyle for example, no smoking, healthy eating, cutting down on alcohol consumption and taking more exercise - this, too, is a key part of helping to achieve a happy and healthy workforce.

The government document Health, Work and Well Being - Caring for our future (Department for Work and Pensions, 2005) outlines the national strategy for the health and well-being of working age people and recognises the important role that occupational health can add to both the private and public sector through a variety of work focused support models - this can include:-

• Educate individuals and groups with the use of leaflets, workshops and presentations.
• Health promotion one day events can improve staff moral and productivity. These events include lifestyle assessments, alternative therapies, and health education workshops including stress management.

'Apex Occupational Health' can help and support employees when they are ready to make these lifestyle changes.
