PEOPLE
&
the ENVIRONMENT
are
the most precious resources
for any community

We live in a period of globalization and of growing
complexity.

We need new and effective ways to cope to meet
our present and future challenges.

New competencies are required.

We need to understand & respect each other,
understand & respect the world in which we live.
There is ample scientific evidence
that
our relationship with ourselves,
others and the planet we live in
is the main variable influencing
all the aspects of our lives.
We need to see, think and act
systemically.
We need to be aware that
everything in our universe
is interconnected.
To ignore the complex
relationships of the web of life
has dire consequences.
We need to respect, protect and
promote health & wellbeing.
This include:
The protection and promotion
of human capital
and a
sustainable governance
of the planet.
From a mechanistic-reductionist viewpoint
health is the absence of illness
From a bio-psycho-social viewpoint health is the
development of human potentialities
WHO reminds us that prerequisites for health are:
Peace
Justice
Equal opportunities for all
WHO Ottawa Charter, 1986.
Promote health and well being = more prosperity
Protect and promote human rights = more prosperity
More education of women= population self-control
Promote equal opportunities = more prosperity
.
Since everything is interconnected
We need at the same time to act both
systemically, interdisciplinarly and
intersectorially in order to promote:
Healthy & Resilient People
Healthy Relationships
Healthy Communities
Healthy Workplaces
Healthy Environments
Healthy Economies
Healthy & Sustainable Growth
To work effectively we need tools
that can effectively :
diagnose the problems
assess the readiness for change
prioritize
design the solutions
implement the plan
evaluate the results

Mental Health
and Wellbeing
are too
precious to be
undermined by
stressful
workplace
environments

CENTRATO SULLA PERSONA
In a recent large meta-evaluation, workplace health programs
resulted in an average 25.3% decrease in sick leave
absenteeism, 40.7% decrease in workers compensation
costs, 24.2% decrease in disability management costs and
$5.81 saving for every $1 invested in employee
wellbeing.
Comprehensive workplace health interventions,
incorporating individual approaches and changes to
workplace culture and structure, have been shown to have
the most impact.
Workers with better health spend more time at work, and are
more productive
Employees are a company’s greatest asset.
Cigna Foundation,2012
Global Prevalence of Programs
Promoting processes that
protect and foster the
development of fully
functioning
citizens,workers,
families, groups,

of vital importance for
human welfare but also

the survival of the work
organizations and of
their communities and
nations
