The management should establish programmes to develop and train staff representatives, who are the key internal stakeholders in workplace health promotion.
Client enterprises/organizations should establish working groups based around key stakeholders – including trade unions, occupational safety and health and occupational health services (OHS) professionals, and employees – to support and advance workplace health promotion.
The management should consider identifying stakeholders with a combined interest in prevention, the return to work and workplace health promotion. In doing so, it should not overlook the specificity of each of these areas and the importance of working effectively with stakeholders to achieve the specific objectives of each.
