Abstract
In recent years, an increasing number of companies around the world are offering workplace health promotion (WHP) programmes. They describe various activities that promote healthier lifestyles. Companies using WHP operate under two assumptions. First, they recognise that it is less expensive to prevent illness than to cure it and, second, that good health can be achieved through improved personal lifestyles. Employer benefits for the company include reductions in absenteeism rates and increased staff productivity while employees learn to change unhealthy behaviour patterns and make efforts to prevent illness.
