ABOUT US
Many workers face challenges remaining healthy and productively engaged given personal and work demands. For individuals with chronic conditions, these challenges are even more daunting.
Focusing on the health and effective participation of these at-risk groups, we take a holistic approach to create healthy work groups by supporting individuals, understanding risk factors, strengthening groups, developing leaders, and creating healthy organizations.
The EMPOWER Partnership is a team of researchers, health experts, and stakeholders across the world that recognizes the importance of worker health and well-being.
Programs
We take a holistic approach to support individuals and to create healthy work groups, leaders, and work environments, focusing on:
-
workers with challenges of chronic physical and psychological conditions (e.g., diabetes, MS, arthritis, heart disease, pain, anxiety, depression, etc.)
-
workers faced with chronic work-life demands and stressors (e.g., caregiving issues)
