Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW) is a national Center for Excellence in Total Worker Health®, conducting research and education to advance worker health, safety, and well-being.
Total Worker Health® (TWH) is a holistic, integrated way of looking at employee health, safety, and well-being in the workplace. This concept was first introduced by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A workplace that uses a TWH approach looks for ways to combine traditional occupational safety and health protection with prevention efforts to advance overall worker well-being.
