Comprehensive health promotion: opportunities for demonstrating value added to the business

1. Comprehensive health promotion is any intervention that attempts to move people toward a state of optimal health, including traditional disease prevention efforts. 2. Health promotion programs enhance employees' self responsibility, sense of balance with work, family, health, and social concerns, and ability to take action, all of which improve teamwork, innovation, quality, and creative thinking. 3. The design of a comprehensive health promotion program is directed by health goals or management goals, and based on data obtained by an assessment of all customers. 4. Health care cost reductions are more likely to be achieved when an array of programs are offered.
