Description:

The intent of the report is to stimulate creative discussions among [British Colubia’s] health system stakeholders about opportunities for coordinated action on employee and workplace health. The best available evidence suggests that the scope and depth of workplace health challenges today require solutions that go beyond traditional workplace health promotion programs. An organization’s structures, values, culture, working relationships, and human resource management practices contribute to a healthy work environment. This perhaps is the most compelling lesson from the rapidly accumulating research on the causes and consequences of healthy, or unhealthy, workplaces. [from introduction]
