e-Campus - Work Wellness Institute

Co-Host: This webinar is co-hosted by the Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention, UBC Okanagan campus. Workplace health promotion programs have potential to benefit both employers and employees; however, such programs are often plagued by low participation rates. Men in particular are a hard to reach group, representing a low  proportion of participants in workplace health promotion interventions.  Understanding and incorporating men's preferences for and interest in  workplace wellness topics and activities is necessary for ensuring men are successfully engaged in workplace wellness initiatives. Moreover, the perspective of workplace leads responsible for implementing such  programs needs to be considered in order to create feasible and effective programs. This presentation will describe research conducted with management and non-management employees to explore perceptions of  workplace wellness initiatives as well as feedback from employees and workplace leads on the acceptability of POWERPLAY, a healthy eating and physical activity program for working men. Funding Acknowledgement: This research was supported by the Canadian Cancer Society (Grant #701259-02)

You will learn: 

• Men's preferences for and perceptions of workplace wellness topics and activities.
• Strategies for tailoring workplace wellness approaches to suit men in diverse industries.
• About POWERPLAY, a men's workplace health promotion program.
