Bibliographic information European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, Loughlinstown House, Shankill, Co. Dublin, Ireland, 1992. ii, 38p. 9 ref.
Abstract This report is based on interviews with nine international companies operating in seven countries of the European Community and in the USA. Aspects of health policies discussed include: the types of organization applied to health-related measures in individual companies and groups; the influence that participation exerts on the shaping of a corporate health policy; and the orientation of activities in terms of subject and content. Country-specific factors influencing corporate health policy are also discussed. Some means that companies could use for the improvement of workplace health promotion are suggested.
