Creating a Healthy Workplace Booklet


Take the first step in providing a healthy workplace at your place
of business. Within this booklet, you will find tips, suggested
guidelines and sample policies for creating a healthy workplace
environment that have been developed by Activate Quad Cities.
Our mission is “to create a social and physical environment that
encourages healthy lifestyles.” This resource is meant to
compliment screening, education and exercise programs that
may already be in place at your business.

Along with workplaces, we understand the special challenges that
other organizations face as they try and move forward to create a
healthier environment.  For this reason, we have created the “Creating
a Healthy Faith Community” and “Creating a Healthy Agency” as well.

Building a healthier environment for your employees is not difficult, but it does require
leadership and a concentrated effort. It may mean changing what is offered in your vending machines, providing healthy food at meetings or putting incentives in place that encourage physical activity in your workforce. We ask that you read through the information and think carefully about the changes you could champion at your workplace.
