What is a Healthy Workplace?
According to the World Health Organization, a healthy workplace is one in which workers and managers collaborate to use a continual improvement process to protect and promote the health, safety and well-being of all workers and the sustainability of the workplace.
A healthy workplace considers the following, based on identified needs:

- ways of participating in the community to improve the health of workers, their families and other members of the community.
