BACKGROUND
Workplace health promotion (WHP) strongly requires the employer's efforts to improve the psychosocial, ergonomic, and physical environments of the workplace. There are many studies discussing the socio-economic advantage of WHP intervention programmes and thus the internal and external factors motivating employers to implement and integrate such programmes. However, the socio-economic impacts of the employer's multifactorial efforts to improve the work environment need to be adequately assessed.
METHODS
Data were collected from Swedish company Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT) through a work environment survey in April 2014. Different regression equations were analysed to assess marginal effects of the employer's efforts on overall labour effectiveness (OLE), informal work impairments (IWI), lost working hours (LWH), and labour productivity loss (LPL) in terms of money.
RESULTS
The employer's multifactorial efforts resulted in increasing OLE, decreasing IWI and illness-related LWH, and cost savings in terms of decreasing LPL.
CONCLUSION
Environmental factors at the workplace are the important determinant factor for OLE, and the latter is where socio-economic impacts of the employer's efforts primarily manifest.
背景
工作场所健康促进（WHP）强烈要求雇主努力改善工作场所的心理社会、工效学和物理环境。有许多研究讨论了WHP干预计划的社会经济优势，以及促使雇主实施和整合此类计划的内部和外部因素。然而，雇主为改善工作环境所做的多方面努力的社会经济影响需要得到充分评估。
方法
2014年4月，通过工作环境调查从瑞典山特维克材料科技公司（SMT）收集数据。分析了不同的回归方程，以评估雇主的努力对总体劳动效率（OLE）、非正式工作损伤（IWI）、损失工时（LWH）和劳动生产率损失（LPL）（以货币计算）的边际影响。
结果
雇主的多方面努力导致OLE增加、IWI和与疾病相关的LWH减少，以及LPL降低带来的成本节约。
结论
工作场所的环境因素是OLE的重要决定因素，而后者是雇主努力的社会经济影响主要体现的方面。
