Healthy Workplaces
The Non-communicable Diseases (NCD) working group is about to embark on a Healthy Workplaces initiative with various Ministries on South Tarawa. The aims of this programme are to increase the physical activity levels and other healthy behaviours of workers, while also building strategic alliances between Health and other sectors to work together on NCD prevention.
Areas that the NCD team will help to facilitate in the various workplaces include:
Establishing walking groups- Working with food vendors to provide healthy meals
- Creating tobacco free workplaces
- Promoting sports committees and activities
- Implementing an alcohol policy in the workplace
- Making quality health information available to staff
- Any other needs identified by the workplace
