The organization&#8217;s mandate encompasses a broad range of activities, including developing partnerships with other global health initiatives, conducting groundbreaking research, setting norms, providing technical support, and keeping a close eye on health trends worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its initial focus on women&#8217;s and children&#8217;s health, nutrition, sanitation, and combatting malaria and tuberculosis, WHO&#8217;s remit has grown over the decades. Today, the organization monitors and coordinates activities related to a host of health issues, such as climate change, genetically modified foods, and drug and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellable.co\/blog\/state-of-employee-smoking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tobacco use<\/a>.

Their steadfast commitment is a testament to their belief in the worth and dignity of every person while paving the way to achieving the UN&#8217;s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs represent a crucial global initiative in which developed and developing countries work collaboratively to eradicate poverty and deprivation, enhance healthcare and education, diminish inequality, promote economic growth, combat climate change, and protect the Earth&#8217;s oceans and forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reflecting-on-77-years-of-public-health\">Reflecting on 77 Years of Public Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>World Health Day offers an opportunity to reflect on the organization\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/campaigns\/75-years-of-improving-public-health\/stories\">impactful contributions to worldwide health and well-being<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-pandemic-disease-protection\">1.

Offer Employees a Paid Health Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprising employees with a paid health day is a great way to demonstrate the company\u2019s commitment to their well-being. This day off allows them to invest in any dimension of their well-being, whether getting active or attending doctor appointments for their physical health, enjoying free time with friends or co-workers for their social well-being, or taking a mental rest and recharge day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-encourage-employees-to-schedule-well-being-breaks\">2.

This can be done in the form of a Q&amp;A session about health care benefits the company offers that might be beneficial but underutilized. It can also be an opportunity to share favorite fitness programs, meal subscriptions, and other wellness resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-create-a-safe-space\">5. Create a \u201cSafe Space\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees may be struggling with mental health issues but don\u2019t have a safe space to discuss them. Implementing an informal and optional \u201cdialogue space\u201d meeting allows participants to discuss sensitive topics regarding mental health, identity, and other taboo topics in a non-judgmental space. Additionally, employers can help create employee resource groups for team members who share a common identity, experience, or health-related interest to provide a space for team members to connect regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-host-an-employee-wellness-challenge\">6.

CPR and AED training can also be crucial in life-threatening situations.

This means that company policies, business practices, and workplace norms are all designed to support long-term employee health.
