We review the state of the art in work site health promotion (WHP), focusing on factors that influence the health and productivity of workers. We begin by defining WHP, then review the literature that addresses the business rationale for it, as well as the objections and barriers that may prevent sufficient investment in WHP. Despite methodological limitations in many available studies, the results in the literature suggest that, when properly designed, WHP can increase employees' health and productivity. We describe the characteristics of effective programs including their ability to assess the need for services, attract participants, use behavioral theory as a foundation, incorporate multiple ways to reach people, and make efforts to measure program impact. Promising practices are noted including senior management support for and participation in these programs. A very important challenge is widespread dissemination of information regarding success factors because only approximately 7% of employers use all the program components required for successful interventions. The need for more and better science when evaluating program outcomes is highlighted. Federal initiatives that support cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness analyses are stressed, as is the need to invest in healthy work environments, to complement individual based interventions.

工作场所健康促进计划的健康和成本收益。

我们回顾了工作场所健康促进（WHP）的最新状况，重点关注影响工人健康和生产力的因素。我们首先定义WHP，然后回顾解决该问题的业务原理的文献，以及可能妨碍对WHP进行充分投资的异议和障碍。尽管许多可用研究的方法存在局限性，但文献中的结果表明，通过适当设计，WHP可以提高员工的健康和生产力。我们描述了有效计划的特征，包括它们评估服务需求，吸引参与者，以行为理论为基础，采用多种方式吸引人以及努力衡量计划影响力的能力。指出了有希望的做法，包括高级管理人员对这些计划的支持和参与。一个非常重要的挑战是广泛传播有关成功因素的信息，因为只有大约7％的雇主使用成功干预所需的所有计划组成部分。在评估计划结果时，需要更多和更好的科学。强调了支持成本效益或成本效益分析的联邦举措，以及对健康工作环境进行投资以补充基于个人的干预措施的需要。在评估计划结果时，需要更多和更好的科学。强调了支持成本效益或成本效益分析的联邦举措，以及对健康工作环境进行投资以补充基于个人的干预措施的需要。在评估计划结果时，需要更多和更好的科学。强调了支持成本效益或成本效益分析的联邦举措，以及对健康工作环境进行投资以补充基于个人的干预措施的需要。
