Research shows that improvements can be achieved through a comprehensive organizational approach to workplace health. Improved worker engagement is a realizable outcome of such an approach, provided that it is based on reliable and relevant data and is tailored to the specific environment in which it is being implemented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Assessment of problem<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An intervention project was designed to develop an organization-wide approach to employee workplace health. A comprehensive health risk assessment was undertaken, along with a staff survey on workplace culture, individual health practice and environmental effects on physical health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In general, the findings present a positive picture of the culture and factors that influence psychological wellbeing. However, improvement is needed in some areas: satisfaction is only marginally outweighing stress, and musculoskeletal disorders account for much absenteeism. Employee health needs include weight management, improving fitness and nutrition, and decreasing coronary risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Strategies for change<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results have prompted this organization to pursue the development of a Healthy Workplace Policy that will be used as a filter for all other policies relating to workplace culture, environment and practice, and have provided the impetus and focus to review the organization of employee health services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Lessons learned<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three major administrative activities are necessary to move from planning to sustained action: ensure adherence of all staff to any policy derived from a health risk assessment; ensure staff feel proposed changes are relevant and important; and create a road map to guide the development of a strategic and an implementation plan. The findings outlined in this report can be addressed by organizations that are willing to commit to a comprehensive approach to workplace health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1258\/jhsrp.2007.007031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,26]],"date-time":"2008-02-26T19:59:11Z","timestamp":1204055951000},"page":"35-40","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Advancing Employee Engagement Through a Healthy Workplace Strategy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Andrea","family":"Seymour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Information, River Valley Health, Fredericton, New Brunswick"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathryne","family":"Dupr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management, Faculty of Business Administration, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John's, Newfoundland, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-jhsrp.2007.007031","volume-title":"The Dimensions of Quality: CCHSA's Definition of Quality.","author":"Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation.","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr2-jhsrp.2007.007031","first-page":"1","volume":"12","author":"Makrides L","year":"2004","journal-title":"Canadian Association of Cardiac Rehabilition Newsbeat"},{"key":"bibr3-jhsrp.2007.007031","volume-title":"Building on values, the future of health care in Canada.
