Background and Brief Description
In the United States, chronic diseases
such as cancer, heart disease, and
diabetes are among the leading causes of
death and disability. Although chronic
diseases are among the most common
and costly health problems, they are
also among the most preventable.
Adopting healthy behaviors, such as
eating nutritious foods, being physically
active, and avoiding tobacco use, can

prevent the devastating effects of these
diseases and lead to reduced rates of
obesity, cancer, heart disease, stroke,
and diabetes.
Increasing health care costs, and
decreases in employee productivity due
to health-related factors, are leading
American businesses to examine
strategies to improve health and contain
health care costs. Employers are
recognizing the role they can play in
creating a healthy work environment
and providing their employees with
opportunities to make healthy lifestyle
choices. They increasingly look to CDC
and other public health experts for
guidance and solutions to combat the
effects of chronic diseases on their
employees and businesses.
To support these efforts, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) is establishing the National
Healthy Worksite Program (NHWP), a
comprehensive workplace health
promotion program to address physical
activity, nutrition, and tobacco use in
the workplace. Participating worksites
will create high quality workplace
health programs by implementing
programs, policies, and environmental
supports that assist employees in
adopting healthy behaviors. The NHWP
is authorized by the Public Health
Service Act and funded through the
Prevention and Public Health Fund of
the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (ACA).
CDC-funded NHWP support will be
provided over a two-year period to an
initial group of 100 worksites drawn
from seven communities. The worksites
will represent small, medium and large
employers in a variety of industry
sectors. The largest employers will be
required to make an in-kind
contribution to supplement the support
provided through the NHWP. Support to
be provided for worksites participating
in the NHWP will include
organizational assessment, guidance on
strategies for supporting a culture of

health, assistance in implementing a
tailored workplace health improvement
plan, and training. Support to be
provided for participating employees
will include individual health risk
assessments, health coaching and
education, and opportunities to
participate in healthy lifestyle
challenges. The NHWP will also provide
workplace health program training to
additional employers in the seven
NHWP communities. CDC may increase
the number of NHWP sites that receive
assistance, if funding becomes available.
CDC plans to collect information
needed to select the initial group of
participating NHWP worksites; to
describe implementation and costs of

program sustainability, information will
also be collected from additional
employers in NHWP communities.
There are no costs to participants
other than their time, with the exception
of the in-kind contribution for large
employers. Participation in the NHWP
is voluntary for both worksites and
employees at those sites.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Information will be used to
evaluate the NHWP, to identify success
drivers for building and maintaining a
successful workplace health program,
and to develop tools and resources for
additional employers who are interested
in establishing workplace health
programs.

workplace health promotion programs
at these sites over the initial two-year
period of support; to examine the effects
of workplace health programs on
employee access and opportunity to
engage in activities that support a
healthy lifestyle; and to quantify
reductions in individual health risks
and improvements in productivity. In
addition, for up to one year after the
two-year implementation period, CDC
will collect information needed to
assess program sustainability.
Respondents will include employers,
employees, and support staff at sites
participating in the NHWP. To gain
insight into training needs, barriers to
participation, and other issues related to
