What is Healthy Workplace Certification?
Healthy Workplace Certification is a certification launched by the Department of Health Promotion, Ministry of Health and Welfare, in the year 2007 with the aim of encouraging workplaces in Taiwan to promote the physical and mental health of their employees. This certification typically includes aspects such as improving the work environment, implementing health promotion programs, and providing occupational safety and health training. Specific practices include creating a safe and healthy work environment, offering annual health check-ups, and conducting health education initiatives.
Healthy Workplace Certification Categories: Health Launch vs. Health Promotion
Health Launch : Designed to encourage workplaces to promote smoke-free environments and initiate health-related programs and activities within the organization. It mainly emphasizes promoting employee participation in health promotion activities, providing health education, and establishing a culture of health.
Health Promotion: In addition to encouraging smoke-free workplaces, organizations are required to provide more comprehensive health promotion programs, including health risk assessment, setting health goals, implementing and evaluating health plans, and other aspects. Due to the higher audit requirements, obtaining the Health Promotion Certification is often considered a higher achievement for businesses, demonstrating their leading position in employee health management.
