The prevalence of health promotion activities has increased in worksites over the last five years. Many companies that have offered health promotion programs in the past have done so primarily for their employees. In the last several years, programs have extended to employee dependents by opening current employee programs to dependents. However, employee health promotion programs may not be relevant or accessible to employee dependents, particularly when children or elderly parents are taken into consideration. This paper outlines several reasons for expanding health promotion benefits to include dependents, suggests a working construct for dependent programs, and discusses the possible roles of allied health professionals in these programs.
在过去五年中,工作场所健康促进活动的普及率有所提高。许多过去提供健康促进项目的公司主要是为其员工开展这些项目。在过去几年里,通过将现有员工项目扩展至家属,这些项目已延伸到员工家属。然而,员工健康促进项目可能与员工家属不相关或他们无法参与,尤其是考虑到儿童或年迈父母时。本文概述了将健康促进福利扩展至家属的几个原因,提出了家属项目的可行架构,并讨论了专职健康专业人员在这些项目中可能发挥的作用。
