Workplace Health Solutions Unveiled by American Heart Association

The American Heart Association proudly announces the transition of the Fit-Friendly Worksite platform into a new, more comprehensive workplace health program: the American Heart Association’s Workplace Health Solutions (www.heart.org/workplacehealth). This program is setting a new standard in the workplace health field which will lead to improved health outcomes for employees, and we invite all companies to join us.

Workplace Health Solutions uses a continuous quality improvement approach to improve both the culture of health of your workplace and the health of your workforce by offering a complete suite of evidence-based tools to help organizations and their employees get the most out of their workplace health program. Workplace Health Solutions helps assess the comprehensiveness of current workplace wellness programs and the supportive workplace environment, provides expert resources on strategies for improvement, implementation employee engagement, and tracks progress toward ideal heart health.

Why it Matters

  • 90% of employers do not measure their wellness program’s ROI.
  • Only 6.9% of worksites have a truly comprehensive health promotion program.
  • 77% of employers see lack of engagement as the biggest obstacle to successful workplace health programs.
  • 55% of employees believe it’s important to see CEO set the example in personal health.

Recognition benefits for the Workplace Health Achievement Index will be more robust and comprehensive than the Fit-Friendly Worksites program by offering three levels of awards and additional promotional opportunities.
