"Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) is a concept that is promoted by the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP). It includes all the processes and structures in an organization that are directed at improving and developing the work environment, work community or work itself in order to optimize workers' health, work ability and well-being. This book explores the context, policies and strategies, actors and processes of WHP in European countries and raises concerns about how one can influence workers' health in policy-making and decision-making. It illustrates the status of WHP in the European countries and is a valuable tool for all those interested in public health, health promotion, and in changing the context of workers¿ health and workplace health promotion. This publication is the result of the “Workplace Health Promotion, National Health Policies and Strategies in an Enlarging Europe” project, carried out during the period 2005-2007. It is financially supported by the Public Health Programme of the European Commission, the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health and the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health."
