Elevating Workplace Well-Being Through Total Worker Health®

As the President of our Chapter, I want to continue with our theme of Total Worker Health®. Here is a tool that can help you assess where your organization stands and guide you in creating meaningful strategies for the next session.A person taking a selfie

As workplace demands continue to evolve, organizations that thrive are those that recognize employees as their most valuable asset—not just in productivity, but in health and well-being. The Total Worker Health® (TWH) approach, developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), integrates occupational safety with broader wellness strategies to create environments where employees can truly thrive.

Why Use the NIOSH Total Worker Health® Assessment Tool?

To support this transformative approach, NIOSH and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health offer a practical tool: The Workplace Integrated Safety and Health (WISH) Assessment Tool.

This tool helps organizations:
– Evaluate current policies and practices
– Identify gaps in worker protection and well-being
– Strategically design or enhance wellness initiatives

Whether you’re launching a new program or refining a current one, the WISH Assessment helps you gather real insights to guide your next steps.

Real-World Impact: Case Studies of Success

Organizations using the Total Worker Health® framework have seen real improvements in engagement, morale, and retention. When companies invest in the well-being of their teams, people feel safer, more motivated, and more loyal.
