Abstract

This funded research project aims to identify the issues relating to workplace health promotion in England. Workplace health promotion specialists were contacted by telephone survey and then later interviewed using a focussed technique to ascertain their perception of the climate and opportunities to conduct health promotion within a variety of organisations. They discuss their role and work with company managers and make suggestions for future developments. The main findings relate to collaboration, alteration of perception, and taking on a greater role within organisations.
