We invest in employees' health
Health
promotion in the workplace is a relatively new approach to improve health. It
combines the
improvement of work organization and working environment,
encouragement of active participation of
all stakeholders and support for staff
development.
Why promote
health at a hospital?
In
a workplace like a hospital where medical and nursing staff spends much of
their life, it is legitimate
to be disease prevention. In
a hospital, most employees have a true knowledge but have always incentives
to
adopt healthy behavior inside and outside the hospital. Health
promotion in a hospital does not only benefit
employees but also acts as a
positive example for their patients.

To what extent health promotion at
work benefits the operation of the hospital?
The
hospital benefits from health promotion because both administrators, and
medical and nursing staff are
healthier and more active in an improved
interface. This
has resulted in reducing disease-related work, better
quality services, more
innovation and productivity growth. Health
promotion at work is also agent class
that helps to improve the public image of
the hospital.
How
can health promotion work to support the reform processes in public
administration?
The
disagreements on public sector reforms, focusing on the need for a more
friendly face of government
and adjustment services for cost reduction and
improved public services. Especially in public administration
which primarily
provides health services health promotion at work can be helpful in motivating
staff to provide
better services and thus significantly reducing costs.
