Healthy Workplaces


The Northwestern Health Unit is recognizing national Healthy Workplace Month.

Spokesperson Jessica Brown says they're encouraging workplaces to get involved in workplace health promotion.

"When employees are supported at work to make health choices, it not only saves our health care system resources, but also increases job satisfaction, reduces absenteeism and improves efficiencies," says Brown.

Brown says business owners can access a number of services through the Health Unit.
