Introduction
Welcome to week 12. The focus this week is on gerunds and infinitives. Here is a good website to
review them:http://www.englishpage.com/gerunds/part_1.htm

Gerund and Infinitive Forms

Muslims in America are watching to see what affect the election of Donald Trump as the next president
of the United States will have on them.
Is watching a gerund?

So clearly from these examples, it is important to master the verbs in English. The kata kerja (working
words) are so important. Please learn them if you want to master English.

Reading Comprehension
Read this article and identify the main points, gerunds and infinitives.

Workplace Health Model

Recommend on Facebook Tweet
The workplace is an important setting for health protection, health promotion and disease prevention
programs. On average, Americans working full-time spend more than one-third of their day, five days
per week at the workplace.
While employers have a responsibility to provide a safe and hazard-free workplace, they also have
abundant opportunities to promote individual health and foster a healthy work environment for more
than 159 million workers in the United States (Accessed US Bureau of Labor Statistics April 12, 2016).
The use of effective workplace programs and policies can reduce health risks and improve the quality
of life for American workers.
Maintaining a healthier workforce can lower direct costs such as insurance premiums and workers
compensation claims. It will also positively impact many indirect costs such as absenteeism and worker
productivity.1, 2
To improve the health of their employees, businesses can create a wellness culture that is employeecentered; provides supportive environments where safety is ensured and health can emerge; and
provides access and opportunities for their employers to engage in a variety of workplace health
programs.
What are workplace health programs
Workplace health programs refer to a coordinated and comprehensive set of strategies which include
programs, policies, benefits, environmental supports, and links to the surrounding community designed
to meet the health and safety needs of all employees.
Examples of workplace health program components and strategies include:

Health education classes

Access to local fitness facilities

Company policies that promote healthy behaviors such as a tobacco-free campus policy

Employee health insurance coverage for appropriate preventive screenings

A healthy work environment created through actions such as making healthy foods available
and accessible through vending machines or cafeterias

A work environment free of recognized health and safety threats with a means to identify and
address new problems as they arise

Impact of workplace health programs

Workplace health programs can lead to change at both the individual (i.e., employee) and the
organization levels.
For individuals, workplace health programs have the potential to impact an employees health, such as
their health behaviors; health risks for disease; and current health status.
For organizations, workplace health programs have the potential to impact areas such as health care
costs, absenteeism, productivity, recruitment/retention, culture and employee morale.
Employers, workers, their families and communities all benefit from the prevention of disease and
injury and from sustained health.

Building a workplace health program should involve a coordinated, systematic and

comprehensive approach

A coordinated approach
to workplace health promotion results in a planned, organized, and comprehensive set of programs,
policies, benefits, and environmental supports designed to meet the health and safety needs of all
employees. A comprehensive approach looks to put interventions in place that address multiple risk
factors and health conditions concurrently and recognizes that the interventions and strategies chosen
influence multiple levels of the organization including the individual employee and the organization as
a whole.

Workplace health promotion programs are more likely to be successful if occupational safety and
health is considered in their design and execution, In fact, a growing body of evidence indicates that
workplace-based interventions that take coordinated, planned, or integrated approaches to reducing
health threats to workers both in and out of work are more effective than traditional isolated programs.
Integrating or coordinating occupational safety and health with health promotion may increase program
participation and effectiveness and may also benefit the broader context of work organization and
environment.1-4

The systematic process of building a workplace health promotion program emphasizes

four main steps:
Step 1 - Workplace Health Assessment expanded
A successful workplace health program is one that is targeted to the specific employee population,
suiting the worksite, employee needs, and personal and organizational health goals. This information
can be gained through the first step in the process - a workplace health assessment. An assessment
should aim to capture a picture of the many factors that influence employee health including:
individual level factors such as lifestyle choices, the work environment (e.g, physical working
conditions and social support), and the organizational level (e.g., culture, policies, and practices). This
assessment can take place informally through conversations, a call for input/opinions (such as a
bulletin board, opinion box, email requesting ideas), or more formally by using instruments such as an
employee health survey or environmental audit. Both current health issues as well as employee
interests should be considered when prioritizing program and policy interventions as well as evaluating
and making improvements to the workplace health program on an ongoing basis. Involving employees
from the beginning will reinforce the shared responsibility and commitment the employee and the
organization have to employee health, and the overall success of the workplace health program. The
assessment module provides guidelines, tools, and resources for conducting a workplace health
assessment.
