Resources for Improving Employee Health, Safety & Well-being

Healthy Workplace Participatory Program (HWPP)

Improving workplace health and safety with the Total Worker Health (TWH) approach goes beyond reducing hazards by taking a holistic look at the organization. The Healthy Workplace Participatory Program (HWPP), developed by the Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW), offers practical toolkits and research-based resources to implement TWH concepts and make lasting improvements in the workplace.
