In my last blog, I forgot to mention that there are many resources in Canada that are willing to help companies (loosely translated employees) set up healthy workplace initiatives. For example, the National Quality Institute (NQI), whose Mission statement is to "Helping Canada live and work better". One of the product and tools that they offer is a "Healthy Workplace". There are of course government organizations like Health Canada, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
You never realise how many resources are available to pursue your ideas until you start looking. In looking at some of the ideas these agencies have in mind like "active living at work", "walking the talk", "size doesn't matter", and many others, I have gotten some ideas that I know I will pursue at my next job and even now at NAIT. What's even better is the resources these agencies are willing to share in helping us become more healthy. So really, we don't need to go far to effectively contribute to a healthy workplace.
