Description:

Today’s workplace is nothing like it used to be. Dynamic changes are re-defining what a job is, whom we work for, and when and how we work. However, some things are not changing. Workplace hazards and exposure, some old and some new, still dangerously challenge the health and well-being of our workers. Far too many workers must trade their health for wages. Can we create jobs that produce both an equitable wage and greater health and well-being when the workday is over? More than ever, your organization needs a strategy, tools and a commitment to improving worker safety and health. Dr. Chosewood identifies critical strategies from the NIOSH Total Health® (TWH) program designed to do just that.
