Incorporating Safety, Health and Well-being Best Practices to Improve the Workplace

The Total Worker Health (TWH) approach, developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, is a holistic framework to improve the health, safety and well-being of workers. The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace has spent the past two decades researching and evaluating the health benefits, obstacles, and cost effectiveness of implementing TWH concepts across industries.

Our studies examine:

• Musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health outcomes
• The underlying role of work organization
• Impact of stress on mental health and workforce turnover
• The importance of worker involvement in program design and implementation

We turn research into action by offering free resources, toolkits, and trainings to help organizations improve worker health, safety and well-being.

Specific industries we’ve worked with include:

• Health care
• Corrections
• Education
• Unions
