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—a new association with global reach. --  Nico Pronk, PhD, IAWHP President

The document represents the most recent initiative of the WHO with regard to improving healthy workplaces. The World Health Assembly endorsed the "Global Strategy on Occupation for All" in 1995 and the "Global Plan of Action on Workers Health" in 2007. The framework provides stakeholders with structured background knowledge, useful recommendations and guidance including information on the following: definitions and concepts of workplace health promotion, process how to create a healthy workplace, scientific background on evaluation and evidence, advice on the global legal and policy context and an inventory of case studies. View the WHO model online.  Or, visit the WHO website for more information on the global framework.
