Program Design

The focus of a Workforce Health Promotion program can vary due to many factors, including type of organization, workforce diversity, resources, and leadership support. Program Design provides an opportunity to plan a Workforce Health Promotion program and position it within the organization's overall mission. This increases the potential that program objectives will be realized, such as improving employee health and productivity and reducing medical care expenses for the employer and employee.
