Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) is a complex strategy of programs addressed to the improvement of organizations and of the health and mental well-being of workers in order to achieve a balance between work and private life. WHP is based on a good communication flow among top management, workers and local communities.

In 1996 the European Commission created the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP) and currently organizes and promotes information and awareness campaigns on this issue; EU countries are part of the ENWHP through their National Contact Offices: their own dedicated websites contain information, publications, projects and operational tools of WHP (action plans, examples of good practice and guidelines) useful for workers and employers, especially in SMEs.
