Welcome to IAWHP!  

The International Association for Worksite Health Promotion, an ACSM affiliate society, is the first global association focused on supporting those who apply themselves to promoting health at the worksite. In today’s global corporate environment, access to an international network of practitioners focused on improving the health and wellbeing of workers and their families is of great value. Such a network of practitioners should support local and regional activities, provide access to educational and professional development resources, but also allow for global collaboration and sharing—and that is exactly what IAWHP is about!

As you peruse this website, you will see a rich set of ever-growing resources and services that you can not afford to miss out on. Join your fellow worksite health promotion, corporate wellness, occupational health and safety professionals, academicians, and students and become an inaugural member of IAWHP—an association with global reach.
