Extensive research has shown that health promotion at the workplace improves staff morale, production rates, corporate image etc, and also reduces sickness, absenteeism, accident rates and staff turnover.

One of the major activities of the Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association in 2002 - 2003 is to promote Healthy Workplace, to advance the concept of a Healthy Workplace to the general public / employees and to set up a model of Healthy Office. The major aims of a healthy office program are to prevent stress, to discourage smoking and to encourage physical activity and healthy eating.

These activities are described in a booklet for further study. We hope that this booklet will be useful and will help to establish a healthy workplace.
