Move Europe - A Campaign for the Improvement of Lifestyle-Related Workplace Health Promotion in Europe
22/04/2008 - Submitted by: Argyro Kazaki
The "Move Europe" campaign is geared to creating a Europe where healthy workers create healthy companies. Strengthening the importance of workplace health promotion throughout Europe is the aim of "Move Europe", an initiative of the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP). The Network was founded in 1996 by organisations in public health care and occupational safety and health and aims to persuade European companies and other organisations to invest in programmes which help to improve life-style oriented behaviour in Europe, with a special focus on the following 4 areas of intervention: physical exercise, smoking prevention, nutrition and mental health. The campaign started in 2006 and is planned to run for 3 years.
For many years workplace health promotion has been common practice in many companies. Health management has found its way into corporate strategies and values in line with the increasing significance of health. "Move Europe" is an initiative designed to boost publicity and to disseminate existing examples of good practice to a wider audience. It is still possible for your company to become a "Move Europe Company".
