The institution allocates adequate resources to support and implement the workplace health promotion plan.

The institution adopts actions and approaches which will contribute to achieving its strategic goals for workplace health promotion.

Appropriate and effective actions and approaches on workplace health promotion could include disseminating information and advice, campaigning, building capacity through training and consultancy services, creating incentives, establishing quality assurance processes, creating relevant tools, and providing advice on data collection and use.

The institution’s plan for workplace health promotion addresses identified goals, determines actions, approaches and timelines, identifies necessary resources and establishes evaluation strategies.

Stakeholder commitment, ownership, involvement and participation in developing a workplace health promotion plan are prerequisites for developing sustainable activities.

The institution actively involves stakeholders in setting priorities for workplace health promotion services, based on needs assessment and aligned with national health priorities.

Planning for workplace health promotion should be integrated into the social security institution’s strategic planning.

In facilitating and enabling workplace health promotion, the social security institution must plan services which focus clearly on the needs of the target group (its client enterprises/organizations).

Based on analysis of the situational assessment and data on the health needs, the institution leads a consensual process of identifying priorities for action.

The social security institution ensures that the workplace health promotion programme focuses on the health needs of the target population and national health priorities.

The social security institution supports a workplace review to identify existing structures and activities which support workplace health promotion and develop a health profile of the target population.

The social security institution ensures that there are adequate resources to conduct a health needs assessment and that responsibility for performing it is clearly assigned.

Assessment of health needs is an essential step when defining issues that must be addressed in a workplace health promotion programme. A health needs assessment (HNA) is a systematic method of reviewing the health issues facing a population, while also assessing the structures and programmes already in place that support workplace health promotion. The results of a health needs assessment contribute to developing effective workplace health promotion strategies.
