Leading American clothing company Levi Strauss, together with the Evidence Project/Meridian Group International Inc., has released a guidebook titled “Managing Health at the Workplace: A Guidebook” to help factories improve worker health and manage their health activities as a basic management function.
The guidebook consists of industry experience on how to improve the workplace health services. It also highlights the importance of the health of women workers and their access to reproductive health and family planning services. Also, it mentions that nurses, often under-utilized, would be better viewed as a strategic resource to promote good health, not just treat injuries.

A package of management resources with the guidebook includes a scorecard for factory self-assessment that provides suggested indicators that can be integrated into a factory’s goals or key performance indicators for health and a “How-to” Toolkit with eight modules that help managers implement specific improvement activities.
“It is common for factory managers to think, ‘Why should I have to deal with one more non-business issue? And what more can be done about health, in any case? In fact, health is a business issue, and workplaces could do a lot more with their existing resources than they often realize,” said David Wofford, Vice President, Meridian and Senior Advisor, The Evidence Project.
