The development of workplace health promotion programs is a popular trend in corporate America. The workplace is considered to have great potential for health promotion and education because workers spend more than 30% of their waking hours at work. Corporate managers are attracted by the broad claims of benefits made for workplace health promotion programs, which include improving employees' health and fitness; decreasing medical and disability costs; reducing absenteeism; improving job satisfaction; increasing productivity; and enhancing the corporate image. Although these claims are not proven through scientific research, current evidence suggests the workplace health promotion programs can have a positive impact on employees. The trend of increasing numbers of corporations establishing health promotion programs should continue in the future.
职场健康促进项目的发展在美国企业界是一种流行趋势。职场被认为在健康促进和教育方面具有巨大潜力，因为员工醒着的时间中有超过30%是在工作场所度过的。企业管理者被职场健康促进项目所宣称的广泛益处所吸引，这些益处包括改善员工的健康和体能；降低医疗和残疾成本；减少旷工；提高工作满意度；提高生产力；以及提升企业形象。尽管这些说法尚未通过科学研究得到证实，但目前的证据表明职场健康促进项目可以对员工产生积极影响。未来，越来越多的公司设立健康促进项目的趋势应该会持续下去。
