Programme Details

Joyful@Healthy Workplace

Work and health are closely related. A healthy workplace not only protects the physical well-being and life of employees, it also enhances productivity and competitiveness, and helps to establish a positive image for the organisation. A healthy workplace promotes a win-win situation for both employers and employees.

The Department of Health, Labour Department and the Occupational Safety and Health Council launch the "Joyful@Healthy Workplace" programme. A series of activities will be organised to assist employers and employees to create a joyful and healthy working environment. The programme focuses on three areas, "Healthy Eating", "Physical Activity" and "Mental Health".

All organisations and members of the public are welcome to join. For details and enquiries, please email: enquiry@joyfulhealthyworkplace.hk
