• A healthy work environment supports the mental and physical health of employees.

A company can support worker health by creating a healthier environment in the workplace and community. For example,

• Provide access to a fitness center or on-demand fitness programs,
• Set up walking paths on an office campus,
• Make stairways an attractive alternative to elevators,
• Support safe bike paths in the community,
• Make access to fresh fruits and vegetables easier by supporting a local farmers market or grocery store,
• Encourage healthy snacks at office meetings,
• Subsidize healthy options in vending machines and the company cafeteria,
• Provide sit-stand workstations,
• Offer an employee assistance program, providing access to counseling services,
• Provide access to a health coach,
• Use natural light to ward off depression, and
• Create quiet spaces.

A company can also make adjustments to workplace culture that support a healthy diet and physical activity. This makes it easier for employees to make healthy choices when at work.
