In this third presentation of the NIOSH Total Worker Health™ Webinar Series, we bring you the latest in research from one of the NIOSH-funded Centers of Excellence to Promote a Healthier Workforce, as well as the practice-based insights from a NIOSH Total Worker HealthTM Affiliate that is currently conducting hands-on safety and health work with small to medium sized businesses.
Following opening remarks, Dr. James Merchant will discuss key findings from Iowa on the relationship between individuals' quality of life and health in relation to their employment status, as well as the broader implications of putting in place a Total Worker Health approach for these various employment groups.
Dr. Lee Newman will then talk specifically about integrated interventions for small businesses, drawing on his experience both working with small-to-medium-sized companies in Colorado and as a small business owner himself. He will discuss barriers to implementation and will also offer concrete strategies for effectively overcoming these challenges.
