Our way (the US way of conducting Workplace Health Promotion Programs) is the best way and it won’t work there for them!!
Second Myth
It is much different there (other countries) and they have different problems!!
Third Myth
They (other countries) don’t have professional people that know how to conduct Workplace Health Promotion Programs like we do!
Fourth Myth
They (professionals in other countries) do not care about (do not know about) such things as ROI, Health care cost containment, and Presenteeism.
Fifth Myth (Truth)
We (professionals in the US) don’t know/not sure (yet)how to do it there (in other countries)!!!
