The intention of Canada's Healthy Workplace Week (CHWW), October 20-26 2003, is to promote a comprehensive and integrated approach to workplace health in order to improve and sustain the health of Canadian organizations, their work environments and their employees. It provides short and long-term workplace health strategies that focus on the five "drivers" of healthy workplace development: leadership; planning; process management; people focus; and outcomes.

An on-line resource, www.healthyworkplaceweek.ca, provides ideas on how to get started and offers both long-term strategies and a variety of activities for the week. Among them is an organizational health quiz that adds a little fun to the serious business of workplace health education.

Another feature is the Resource Well, a place to find and share workplace health and wellness information. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) reviews, maintains and stocks the well. CCOHS is also the Workplace Health Affiliate Partner of the Canadian Health Network (CHN) (www.canadian-health-network.ca/1workplace_health.html) and is responsible for selecting resources and developing content for CHN's Workplace Health Centre.
