2012 is Life-Work Harmony…working toward a great life! October is Canada's Healthy Workplace Month

The 12th annual Canada's Healthy Workplace Month® (CHWM) is an October celebration to introduce workplace health to organizations and support those already promoting healthy workplaces. Organizations that submit their initiatives to Excellence Canada will be showcased on the Canada's Healthy Workplace Month® website.

CHWM is presented by Great-West Life through their national corporate citizenship program, and managed by Excellence Canada (formerly the National Quality Institute).

The theme for 2012 is Life-Work Harmony…working toward a great life!

Canada's Healthy Workplace Month® is about celebrating employees, their successes, and their accomplishments! During October, every employer is encouraged to take extra time to recognize their employees and show them how vital they are to the success of their organization.
