Healthcare systems worldwide are facing intense cost pressures due to the increase in chronic disease and unhealthy lifestyles of the populace. Coupled with growing demands for increased productivity in the competitive global marketplace, national and multinational employers as well as most national governments are increasingly recognizing that a more proactive and systematic approach to promoting employee health is required.

Global Perspectives in Workplace Health Promotion addresses these challenges through an in-depth look at effective workplace health promotion efforts in 21 different countries around the world. The book focuses on several key areas regarding workplace health promotion: prevailing health issues and risk behaviors, existing healthcare systems, historical and cultural influences on both physical and mental health, key drivers for establishing global workplace health promotion programs, examples of best practices, outcomes and success indicators, and existing research findings.
