Abstract

The program “The Lombardy Workplace Health Promotion Network - has as main objective the promotion of organizational changes in the workplace in order to enable the working environments to the adoption of healthy lifestyles for the prevention of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases represent, in fact, both a health priority and a challenge with social and economic impact for the world of work in the field of management and rehabilitation of workers, also in relationship to the enhancement of human capital. Improving work organization and environment can effectively impact on “Active and Healthy Ageing”, also creating conditions supporting and including older workers and those with chronic diseases or disabilities. The Lombardy WHP Network belongs to the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion ENWHP (http://www.enwhp.org/the-enwhp/members-nco.html).
