Healthy Together at Work

What is the Healthy Workplace Toolkit?

Research demonstrates that having healthy employees increases employee productivity and results in lower employer healthcare costs. From changing vending machine offerings to switching up how meetings are held, the path to a healthy workplace starts with just a few simple steps.

Led by Atrium Health, the Healthy Workplace Toolkit makes it easy for employers to create a culture of wellness in the workplace. The actions can be implemented by businesses of all sizes, and many are low-cost or no-cost.

• Encourage proper hand hygiene. All employees should wash their hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Plus, hand sanitizer should be available throughout the work area.
• Screen employees before work. The overall health of the workforce is essential. Before entering work each day, employees should be screened for signs and symptoms of illness.
