Healthy Workplace Month

October is Healthy Workplace Month and the Northwestern Health Unit is encouraging area workplaces to implement job satisfaction initiatives.
Officials say when employees are supported at work to make healthy choices, research shows that they work more efficiently.
Workplace Health Promoter Jessica Brown says the Health Unit offers a number of services, including workshops, one-on-one consultations and on-line presentations.
Brown notes that 52% of the Canadian workforce has little access to workplace health services.
