Welcome to Hamilton Healthy Workplaces

  • Our goal: to promote a healthy community by promoting healthy workplace environments and practices to both employers and employees
  • Our focus: mental health, physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco-free living
  • As an employer are you aware that there’s a link between healthier and more engaged workers and higher productivity and profits for you?
  • As an employee are you aware that you don’t need to take extreme measures to improve your health, energy levels and enjoyment of life?

This site was developed for you, whether you are an employer, HR professional, or an employee who is interested in improving healthy living and worklife balance for yourself and for those around you.

  • Read our tips on eating well, being physically active, how to be tobacco-free, and how to manage stress and care for your mental health
  • Our resources page will give you free information to explore
  • If you don’t see your concerns addressed pose a question in our Ask an Expert section
  • We’d love it if you’d get interactive with us and answer our poll on the right side of the page
