Getting Upper Management Support

Workplace Health Promotion Program support from the uppermost level of leadership is vital to your success in creating a culture of wellness within your workplace. Look for Workplace Health Promotion Program support from a leader who is respected by and can sway other leaders. (It’s not important that he or she be the fittest executive within your organization just that they directly support the Workplace Health Promotion Program.) You will be relying on this culture-of-health champion to advocate for changes that you recommend and to ensure the organization allocates adequate Workplace Health Promotion Program resources (staff, time, and money) to maintain and improve the workplace policies, physical environment, and social norms.
