Title Methods to persuade higher management to invest in health promotion programmes in the workplace
Bibliographic information May 1997, Vol.47, No.4, p.210-216. 35 ref.
Abstract A questionnaire survey of 242 occupational health professionals in Japan showed that 81% had attempted to persuade higher management to implement a workplace health promotion programme. The most effective methods of persuasion were considered to be advice to the health and safety committee and recommendations from occupational physicians. Data used to persuade management included statistics on medical examinations, reports on worksite inspections and health care plans.
