Clinical Trial Summary

People of working age spend most of their day at work, and usually have less time to participate in other activities, the work day in Israel being one of the longest in the OECD. Work places, therefore, present the most suitable setting for health interventions, as they are an accessible and available framework and have real potential of creating change. The current Health Promotion in the Work Place training course aims to train female employees to design, implement, and evaluate a health promotion program in their workplace, as well as promote personal change in improving healthy habits, and empowering the participants. A unique course has been designed, consisting of 20 sessions- 15 consecutive sessions, and 5 maintenance sessions throughout the year. The course will focus on acquiring health knowledge and health promotion skills, as well as leadership skills and empowerment.

People of working age spend most of their day at work, and usually have less time to participate in other activities, the work day in Israel being one of the longest in the OECD. Work places, therefore, present the most suitable setting for health interventions, as they are an accessible and available framework and have real potential of creating change. The current Health Promotion in the Work Place training course aims to train female employees to design, implement, and evaluate a health promotion program in their workplace, as well as promote personal change in improving healthy habits, and empowering the participants. Objectives include improving eating habits, increasing engagement in physical activity, increasing self-efficacy, and designing a detailed health promotion program in the work place, based on it's needs, and implementing it there.
