Health Promotion in the Workplace

Abstract

The need for discussion on health promotion and delivery in the workplace at this time is not unique but also a duty that must be taken up by those trained to take up the responsibility including, Health and Human Kinetics Educators and other health workers. This conference is apt at this time because presently in our country, the high levels of work-related psychosocial burdens, such: as poor employee-employer relationship, job dissatisfaction, work-family imbalance; economic burdens, such as poor remuneration, delayed salaries, high health cost etc; work demand burdens, such as high effort-low reward and high demand-low control, and poor occupational health and safe workplaces, such as the compromised physical environment for work, have exacerbated workers’ health with its concomitant low productivity outcomes.
