Working as a Civilian for Workplace Health

Abstract

Workplace programs to improve health through physical activity constitute one of those possibilities of the Hungarian labour market, where the substance of the following statement becomes more emphatic: “Humans constitute the fundamental value of a modern corporation, and the health of the co-workers is an important value, purpose, as well as a serious resource for both the present and future functioning of all economic operators.” The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared already in 2003, that regular physical activity has a serious economic effect, including workplace health improvement programs. In this paper I analyse the status of these issues comprehensively, through the introduction of a Szeged-based NGO.
