The social security institution formally recognizes workplace health promotion at both corporate and strategic levels and develops a sustainable approach in which development is continuously reviewed and evaluated.
In recognizing the importance of workplace health promotion, the institution can bring lasting benefits to its client enterprises/organizations. Corporate and strategic commitment includes an external role, articulating how the institution enables, encourages and supports its clients in their efforts to protect and promote their own employees’ health.
