Workplace Health

Health Canada understands the importance of creating healthier work environments. Through research conducted over the past several decades, we have learned that the environment in which we work can have a profound effect on our health and well-being. We also know that organizations benefit from healthier workplaces through decreased absenteeism, increased morale and improved productivity.
