Workplace Health
Practical tools for a healthy working environment and enhanced wellbeing
Workplace health is about creating health-promoting initiatives and equipping employees with concrete tools to achieve better health – benefitting both themselves and the organisation. Well-functioning employees are a key factor in both wellbeing and productivity, making workplace health a top priority.
Our physical conditions and daily routines play a crucial role in how we feel at work. By ensuring opportunities for daily movement, focusing on ergonomics, healthy work habits and good working postures, you can prevent musculoskeletal issues and illness. When workplace health is at the top of your agenda, you will see greater energy and efficiency, as well as a reduction in sickness absence.
Get support to strengthen workplace health
As occupational safety and health advisors, we support your organisation in creating a healthy working environment. We help place health firmly on the agenda through activities such as mapping working conditions and providing concrete recommendations on how you can take a more systematic and strategic approach to your health-promoting initiatives.
We also offer guidance on how the intersection between ergonomics and health initiatives can be optimally integrated. Through workshops on healthy work habits, managing musculoskeletal pain at work, cognitive training at work, and through a range of health checks, mandatory health checks for night workers, hearing tests, and first aid courses, you will establish a strong foundation for your ongoing effort to promote workplace health.

Embedding health throughout working life with health-promoting environments
A health-promoting working environment is a proactive approach to improving health in your organisation. This means creating a workplace where health is not merely an added benefit, but an integral part of how work is structured, conducted and experienced. It is based on a holistic and structural approach, encompassing physical, psychological and social factors, and does not rely on employees’ individual motivation or resources.
- A structural approachmeans integrating health initiatives into the existing framework, conditions and content of the work.
- A holistic approach means considering health broadly, so that physical, ergonomic, psychosocial and organisational factors are all included – not just the absence of disease.
These approaches should go hand in hand with your organisation’s prevention efforts, supporting quality and productivity at work and enabling good, sustainable working lives.
The vision for health-promoting environments is to make work itself a driver of wellbeing and health, so that all employees – regardless of background – have the opportunity for a long and healthy working life. This is accomplished by integrating health into everything from work organisation and culture, to the company’s physical environment and policies, making healthy choices and good working lives accessible to everyone.
