Jennifer O'LOUGHLIN and Maureen THOMPSON. The Worksite Health Promotion Survey. Technical report. Department of Community Health of the Montreal General Hospital. July, 1987.
ABSTRACT
As part of its Heart Health Program, the Department of Community Health
of the Montreal General Hospital conducted a telephone survey of all
worksites with 50 or more employees located on its territory. The
objectives were to describe activities, programs, services or policies at
the worksite which were related to heart health, and to assess the level of
interest in having new or more heart health activities. From January to
March 1987, trained interviewers contacted 197 of 220 eligible worksites
(90%) to complete a questionnaire on the characteristics of the worksite,
and on the existence of sports and fitness activities, health services,
health education activities and smoking policies. Most worksites (80%) had
at least one activity, program, service or policy related to heart health.
The most frequently reported was the existence of a smoking policy (53%).
Many policies (40%) had been initiated in the past year, and there was a
wide variety between companies in the extent of restriction. Half of
companies with smoking policies expressed interest in increasing the extent
of restriction, and one third of companies currently without policies showed
interest in implementing one. Other frequently reported heart health
activities included sports activities (51%) and employee assistance programs
(27%). There were few heart health activités in Industry and Manufacturing
enterprises, and in non-union companies. The number of activities per
worksite increased with increasing number of employees, age of the company,
proportion of female employees, and proportion of employees with post-
secondary school education. Worksites which already had heart health
activities were much more likely to express interest in having more
activities, than companies which had. no heart health activities.

Dans le cadre de son programme "Le coeur en santé", le Département de
santé communautaire de l'Hôpital général de Montréal a mené une enquête
téléphonique auprès de toutes les entreprises situées sur son territoire
embauchant plus de 50 employés. LS premier objectif était de décrire ce que
le milieu de travail offrait comme activités, programmes, services ou
politiques reliés à la santé cardio-vasculaire. Le deuxième objectif était
d'évaluer l'intérêt de développer de nouvelles activités reliées à la santé
cardio-vasculaire• De janvier à mars 1987, des interviewers formés ont
rejoint 197 des 220 milieux de travail éligiblés pour compléter un question-
naire sur les caractéristiques de l'entreprise, sur 11 existence des acti-
vités sportives, des services de santé, des activités d'éducation sanitaire
et des politiques sur l'usage du tabac. La plupart des milieux de travail
(80%) offraient au moins une activité, programme, service ou politique relié
à la santé cardio-vasculaire. L'implantation d'une politique sur l'usage du
tabac était l'activité la plus répandue (53%). Dans plusieurs cas (40%),
les politiques avaient été implantées l'année dernière et le contenu variait
selon les entreprises. La moitié des entreprises qui réglementaient déjà
1 'usage du tabac affirmaient qu'elles étaient intéressées à élargir la
restriction et le tiers des entreprises qui n'avaient pas encore implanté de
telles politiques manifestaient leur intérêt à en implanter une. Les autres
activités les plus répandues étaient les activités sportives (51%) et les
programmes d'assistance aux employés (27%). Il y avait peu d'activités
reliées à la prévention des maladies cardio-vasculaires dans les industries
et râanufactures ainsi que dans les compagnies où il n'y avait pas de
syndicat. Le nombre d'activités par milieu de travail augmentait avec le
iv
nombre d'employés, l'ancienneté de la compagnie et le pourcentage d'employés
féminins ou ayant une éducation post-secondaire. . Les milieux de travail qui
offraient déjà des activités reliées à la santé cardio-vasculaire étaient
plus ouvertes à implanter d'autres activités que celles qui n'en offraient
aucune•

INTRODUCTION
The Department of Community Health of the Montreal General Hospital
(DSC-MGH) is one of 32 similar public health .-institutions across the
province of Quebec. Its principal mandates are to identify priority health
problems in its target population, and to design and evaluate preventive
health programs to reduce the prevalence of these health problems. The DSC-
MGH is located in west-central Montreal and serves a population of
approximately 200,000 persons (Map 1).
The reduction of cardiovascular disease is a priority concern of the
DSC-MGH. The long term objective of its Heart Health Program is to reduce
the prevalence of the four major risk factors associated with cardiovascular
disease. Specifically, over the next five years, the Heart Health Program
will introduce a series of interventions into the population to reduce the
prevalence of smoking, physical inactivity, hypercholesteremia and high
blood pressure. Because smoking is the number one avoidable health hazard
(WHO, 1982), and because the prevalence of smoking is higher in the DSC-MGH
population compared to the national average, the Heart Health Program will
begin its five-year program with the introduction of interventions to reduce,
the prevalence of smoking. Its short term objective is to promote the
implementation of smoking policies at 50% of worksites in the DSC-MGH
territory which do not currently have a smoking policy.
In North America the workplace, has become increasingly accepted as an
appropriate channel for the delivery of health promotion interventions. It
is a convenient, cost-effective location to approach large numbers of adults

grouped at a single location (Pelletier, 1984). In the DSC-MGH territory
approximately two thirds of the population over the age of 15 is employed
(Wilkins, 1983), and most workers spend about one third of the day in the
workplace. In addition there is some evidence in the literature that
workplace interventions such as onsite fitness programs can retain more
participants than interventions delivered through other community channels
(Fielding, 1982). For these reasons the Heart Health Program selected the
workplace as the primary channel for delivery of its interventions. Efforts
will be focused in larger worksites with 50 or more employees because more
persons can be reached with a single effort, and because the literature
suggests that the chances of implementation of programs are greater in
larger worksites (Davis et al., 1984; Fielding and Breslow, 1983; Kierans et
al., 1985; Ontario Ministry of Tourism, 1984; Sallis et al., 1986;
Weinstein, 1983).
As a first step in its five-year plan, the Heart Health Program
conducted the Worksite Health Promotion Survey to collect baseline data on
the existence of heart health activities and on the interest in developing
new heart health activities in worksites located in the DSC-MGH territory.
These data will identify and characterize those worksites which are most
likely to respond favourably to the Heart Health five-year Program. This
report presents the results of the Worksite Health Promotion Survey.
Page 4
BACKGROUND
Surveys show that there has been a marked increase in the number and
variety of "workplace health promotion activities in the last 15 years (Davis
et al., 1984; Felix et al., 1985; Fielding and Breslow, 1983). Among the
more common activities are safety and accident prevention, cardiopulmonary
resuscitation c o u r s e s , alcohol/drug abuse p r o g r a m s , m e n t a l h e a l t h
counseling^ stress management, fitness/aerobic/exercise classes, hyper-
tension screening, smoking cessation programs^ diet/nutrition/weight control
counseling, and cancer risk reduction.
In the 1986 Canadian Health Promotion Survey (Health and Welfare Canada,
1987) 68% of Canadians felt that the workplace was an appropriate place to
promote health, 24% thought not, and 8%- had no opinion. According to the
report of the survey,
Support (for worksite health promotion activities) varied widely according to the occupation of the respondent, the size of the organization, and the particular economic sector in which they worked. Business people and those in managerial positions in larger companies were most likely to support the idea. Moreover support was quite strongly related to current health promotion* programming: employees of organizations that already provided health-related information are more likely to perceive, their workplace as appropriate for health promotion. Canadians working in lower-paid, blue-collar jobs were the least likely to have received health information at work and the least likely to feel that the workplace is an appropriate place for health promotion. (Health and We1fare, Canada. Active Health Report, p. 41).
There are many reasons why the workplace is regarded as a good location
for health promotion. Employers believe that provision of such activities
may reduce employee turnover and absenteeism, while improving their morale
Page 5
and health. This may, in turn, improve their work performance (Davis et
al., 1984; Iverson et al., 1985). Weinstein (1983) suggests that because of
its policies and the attention paid to the provision of a safe and healthy
work environment, the workplace can have a strong positive influence on the
attitudes of employees towards health. Pelletier (1984) notes that the
workplace provides a "convenient, cost-effective11 location for the delivery
of health promotion activities. Finally, reduction of health care costs is
frequently cited as a justification for the development of workplace health
promotion, and insurance carriers in the United States are actively
recommending that employers cons i de r the adoption of employee health
promotion programs (Fielding and Breslow, 1983).
Reports on the availability of workplace health promotion activities
vary considerably, and- comparison between reports is difficult because there
is no commonly accepted definition of workplace health promotion activity
(Davis et al., 1984; Fielding and Breslow, 1983; Weinstein, 1983). Such
activity could be a single sporadic occurrence such as a "Quit-Smoking Day"
once a year, or it could be a comprehensive in-house program offered on a
continual basis. Also reports are usually limited to large employers and
they are based on low response rates (Fielding and Breslow, 1983).
A 1984 survey of 2,000 businesses in Ontario with 50 or more employees
(70% of the companies contacted) showed that about one third of all firms
had some kind of sports and recreation program, 10% had employee fitness
programs, and 12% offered some kind of health or lifestyle program such as
stress management, nutrition/weight control' counseling, smoking cessation
program, etc. (Ontario Ministry of Tourism, 1984). A survey in 1985 of
Page 6
1,000 worksites in British Columbia with 20 or more employees (63% of
worksites contacted) showed, that about 45% of companies had sports and
recreation programs, 26% had fitness activities and 53% had health education
activities (Kierans et al., 1985; Summary report on the British Columbia
workplace fitness and health promotion survey, 1986). Fielding and Breslow
(1983) surveyed 424 worksites in California with more than 100 employees
(83% of worksites contacted), and showed that 78% offered one or more health
promotion activities• Companies with at least one activity had an average
of 2.8 activities per worksite and 15% had exercise/fitness programs.
In general larger companies were more likely to provide health promotion
activities (Davis et al., 1984; Fielding and Breslow, 1983; Kierans et al.,
1985; Ontario Ministry of Tourism, 1984; Sallis et al., 1986; Weinstein,
1983), but the level of interest for workplace health promotion did not
appear to differ according to the size of the enterprise (Davis et al.,
1984). Availability also varied with the sector of economic activity (Davis
et al., 1984; Fielding, 1984; Fielding and Breslow, 1983). Chovil et al.
(1983) in a survey of occupational health services in South Carolina
manufacturing plants, found that companies in the lumber and textile
industries were consistently the least likely to offer any form of health
promotion activity. In British Columbia, companies that already had health
promotion activities were far more likely to show interest in developing new
ones than those without (Kierans et al., 1985).
Employers who did not offer health promotion activities indicated that
lack of funds, space, information about community resources, and employee
motivation were the most important reasons for not developing activities
Page 7
(Fielding and Breslow, 1983; Kierans et al., 1985; Ontario Ministry of
Tourism, 1984).
Although larger enterprises were more iikely to have on-site resources
for health promotion activities, many worksites relied: on community and
other external resources for the organization, leadership, or facilities for
health promotion activities (Davis et al., 1984; Fielding and Breslow, 1983;
Kierans et al., 1985 ; Ontario Ministry of Tourism, 1984). Community
agencies used to complement or implement health promotion programs included
the Red Cross, local hospitals, the Heart Association, local fire or police
departments, insurance carriers, the Cancer Society, public health agencies,
the Safety Council, and the Lung Association. A survey of hospitals in
Chicago showed that 30% of hospitals offered health promotion consulting
services (Ross et al., 1985). However businesses were generally unaware of
the assistance hospitals, could provide (Community and Industry Ready for
Health Promotion, 1980). Further, many hospitals have not thought of
marketing their programs to business.
There have been very few evaluations of the health effects or cost-
effectiveness of worksite health promotion (Fielding, 1982). A survey of
Colorado workplaces showed that employee participation rates were the most
common evaluation measures (Davis et al., 1984). In the California survey,
two thirds of companies with health promotion activities reported that they
routinely evaluated the effectiveness of their health programs. One half of
the programs were judged "very effective" and one third were "somewhat
effective". However there were no details reported on the criteria used to
evaluate effectiveness. Employers expressed relunctance to evaluate such
Page 8
activities because it was too costly and disruptive, and because partici-
pation is affected by many unmeasurable or unrelated factors such as
absenteeism and turnover • In general, both employers and employees
considered such programs a benefit whether or not certain outcomes could be
demonstrated.

OBJECTIVES
The overall aim of the Worksite Health Promotion Survey was to collect
baseline data on activities related to heart health at worksites located on
the territory served by the DSC-MGH. The data will be used to identify and
characterize worksites which are more likely to respond favourably to the
Heart Health five-year Program. Also the data will provide baseline
information for comparison with future surveys. The specific objectives
were :
• To describe existing heart health activities in worksites with 50 or
more employees located on the territory served by the Department of
Community Health of the Montreal General Hospital.
• To determine the characteristics of worksites with existing heart health
activities.
• To determine the level of interest in having new or more heart health
activities.
• To describe the characteristics of worksites by level of interest.

METHOD
This section describes the study design, the methods of data collection,
the questionnaire, the variables, and the method of data analysis.
Study design
The study design was a cross-sectional telephone survey of all worksites
with 50 or more employees located on the territory served by the DSC-MGH.
The Commission de santé et sécurité au travail (CSST) provided a list of 324
such worksites including the name, address, telephone number, number of
employees, and the sector of economic activity. The CSST defined worksite
or establishment as a collection of installations and equipment grouped
together at the same location and organized under the authority of a single
individual or group of individuals, for the purpose of production or
distribution of goods or services.
Data collection
The primary method of data collection was the telephone interview. This
was supplemented by mailed questionnaires in worksites where there was a
policy against telephone interviews or when the respondent did not have time
to complete the interview over the telephone. Trained bilingual (French/
English) interviewers contacted each worksite on the CSST list from January
to March 1987, to complete a series of screening questions to verify that
the enterprise was located on the DSC-MGH territory and that it employed 50
Page 11
or more persons • Worksites which did not meet these two criteria were
excluded.
In worksites which were eligible for inclusion, the interviewer asked to
speak to the person most knowledgeable about health promotion activities at
the workplace. If the respondent was unavailable or unable to complete the
interview at that time, the interviewer made an appointment to call back at
a specified time to complete the interview. Interviews were conducted in
French or English depending on the respondent1 s preference. In worksites
where it was not possible to complete the telephone interview, question-
naires were mailed with stamped, self-addressed return envelopes to the
person identified as most knowledgeable about health promotion activities at
the workplace.
Questionnaire
The que s tionnaire was based on two previous Canadian surveys - the
British Columbia Workplace Fitness and Health Promotion Survey (1986) and
the Ontario Employee Fitness and Lifestyle Program Study (1984). It
collected data on the existence of heart health activities and on the
interest in having (more) heart health activities(l). For each existing
activity, data were collected on who organizes and participates in the
activity, when and where the activity takes place, and the length of time
the activity has been available.
(1) At the resquest of the Santé au travail and the Maternal and Child Health Programs of the DSC-MGH, data were also collected on health services and daycare facilities.
Page 12
The questionnaire was pretested in 33 worksites with 50 or more
employees randomly selected from the CSST list of worksites located in the
territory served by the Department of Community Health of the St-Luc
Hospital (a territory adjacent to the DSC-MGH territory). The final version
of the questionnaire contained 75 questions and took approximately one half
hour to administer. Appendix A contains a copy of the French and English
versions of the questionnaire.
Variables
Data were collected on worksite characteristics including economic
sector, number of employees, age of worksite, proportion of male employees,-
proportion of employees with more than high school education, and proportion
of employees over 50 years of age.
Economic sector
Worksites were categorized into one of three broad categories of econo-
mic activity (Table 1). Industry and Manufacturing included worksites
classified under 14 CSST categories. Trade and Commerce included three
categories of worksites, and Finance and Services included five categories
of worksites.
\
Number of employees
The number of employees was the summation of the number of full- and
part-time employees • Worksites were categorized into one of three size
groups —• 50-99 employees, 100-249 employees and 250 or more employees.

Âge of worksite
Respondents were asked to indicate the number of years that the work-
place had been in existence. Responses were categorized as less than 20
years, 20-49 years,, or 50 years or more.
Proportion of male employees
In the p r e t e s t , respondents were asked to indicate a numerical
proportion of male employees. Because this approach frequently èlicited a
"Don't know" response, respondents in the main survey were asked to indicate
an approximate proportion of male employees — all or most, about one third
or one half, and- few or none.
l&nployees with more than high school education
Respondents were asked to indicate approximately how many employees had
more than high school education. Responses were categorized as all or most,
about one third or one half, and few or none.
Employees over 50 years of age
Respondents were asked to approximate the number of employees who were
50 years of age or older. Responses included all or most, about one third
or one half, and few or none. Because of the small number of responses, all
or most, and about one third or one half were collapsed for analysis.
Heart health activity
Heart health activity was defined as any activity, program, service, or
policy which enabled or encouraged the individual to better control or
improve his/her heart health. Data were collected on the existence of team
Page 15
and individual sports, fitness/aerobic/exercise classes, smoking policies
(regardless of whether or not they were implemented to protect employees
from secondhand smoke), smoking cessation programs, employee assistance
programs(2), general health/wellness educatiori(3), alcohol (and drug)
programs(4), health risk appraisal services(5), nutrition counseling,
screening for hypertension, and "other" including physical fitness assess-
ments, programs to reduce absenteeism and a variety of informal activities.
The activity had to be organized by or through the workplace for any or all
employees, but did not necessarily have to take place on location at the
workplace.
The number of heart health activities was the total number of these
activities at each worksite. The score ranged between 0 and 11.
(2) Employee assistance programs offer a wide range of counseling services to assist employees cope with family problems, marriage difficul-ties, susbstance abuse, stress, etc. Services may be provided by in-house staff, or employees may be referred to outside community resources.
(3) General health/wellness education included provision of informa-tion on various health topics through kiosks, displays, pamphlets, posters, and lectures by health professionals.
(4) In a recent review of the relationship between alcohol intake and blood pressure, Johansen (1983) reported that increased blood pressure levels are found with increased alcohol consumption (regular daily intake of three or more alcoholic drinks), that the prevalence of hypertension in alcoholics is estimated to be 2.3 times greater than among non-drinkers, and that 10 to 30% of the hypertension in affluent countriès may be attributable to the use of alcohol. Because of the apparent association between alcohol intake and hypertension, worksite programs to control or reduce alcohol intake were included as a heart health promotion activity. Drug abuse programs were almost always offered conjointly with alcohol abuse programs.
(5) Health risk appraisal is a noninvasive personalized health assessment tool to evaluate the individual's risk for premature morbidity and mortality from common causes. A composite risk score is calculated based on the individual
1 s family history of disease, smoking s ta tus,
obesity, level of physical activity, alcohol use, etc.
Page 16
Interest
Data were collected on the respondent's perception of interest at the
worksite in having new or more heart health activities. Specifically,
respondents were asked if the administration was planning to organize (more)
sports or fitness activities, (more) health education a c t i v i t i e s , and
whether or not the administration was planning to implement (or modify) a
smoking policy in the next year. In worksites where there were no plans to
organize activities, respondents were asked if they thought there was any
interest at the workplace in having (more) sports or fitness activities,
(more) health education activities, and whether they thought there was
interest in the implementation (or modification*) of a smoking policy or
regulation. Because the objectives of the Heart Health Program were to
detect even low-interest companies, a loose definition of positive interest
was adopted. Interest was recorded "Yes" if the respondent indicated any
of the following:
plans to organize (more) sports or fitness activities, plans to organize (more) health education,
• plans to i m p l e m e n t / m o d i f y a s m o k i n g ( c l e a n - a i r ) p o l i c y in the n e x t
year, . _ • interest in having (more) sports or fitness activities, interest -in having (more) health education, interest (much, some, little) in implementing/modifying a smoking policy or regulation.
Level of interest was the summation of the number of times "Yes" was
recorded to the items listed above. Scores ranged between 0 and 3. Conver-
sely, lack of interest was -narrowly defined. Interest was recorded "No"
(and Level of Interest was recorded Ô) if the respondent indicated all of
the following:
no plans to organize (more) sports or fitness activities, no plans to organize (more) health education,
Page 17
no plans to implement/modify a smoking (clean-air) policy in the next year, no interest in having (more) sports or fitness activities, no interest in having (more) health education, no in t e r e s t in implementing/modifying a smoking policy or regulation.
Interest and Level of Interest were recorded "Don't know" in all other
worksites•
Data analysis
Data from the questionnaires were edited, coded and keypunched.
Accuracy of keypunched data was verified against the original question-
naires. The data were examined univariately in simple cross-tabulations
produced by SAS prepacked programs for the IBM-PC.
Page 18
RESULTS
This section presents the survey response, the characteristics of the
worksites studied, and the results on the existence of heart health
activities, the characteristics of existing activities, and the interest in
having (more) heart health activities.
Survey response
One third of the 324 worksites on the CSST list (n=104) were ineligible
for inclusion in the survey. Figure 1 details the reasons for exclusion.
Of the remaining 220 worksites, 90% completed the questionnaire. Most
respondents (85%) were interviewed over the telephone ( F i g u r e 1 ) .
Appendix B provides a list of the worksites surveyed classified by sector of
economic activity and CSST category.
Figure 2 shows that half of the respondents interviewed (51%) worked in
administration or management, 24% were human resources personnel, and 25%
were other (including secretaries, office supervisors, plant foremen,
occupational health or health services personnel, and others).
In smaller worksites with 50-99 employees, most respondents (65%) worked

Characteristics of worksites
Table 2 describes the characteristics of the worksites surveyed. Two
thirds of enterprises belonged to the Finance and Service sector, 27% were
Industry and Manufacturing enterprises, and only 17 worksites (9%) were
classified as Trade and Commerce e n t e r p r i s e s . Results pertaining to
companies belonging to the Trade and Commerce sector should be interpreted
with caution because of the small number. The 53 Industry and Manufacturing
enterprises had a total of 10,025 employees, the 17 Trade and Commerce
worksites had a total of 2,544 employees, and the 127 Finance and Service
worksites had a total of 48,857 employees.
Most worksites (74%) had fewer than 250 employees, 61% were less than 50
years old, about one third of worksites employed mostly men and 28% employed
mostly women, two thirds had unions, most employees of 38% of enterprises
had more than high school e d u c a t i o n , and three quarters of worksites
reported that few employees were over 50 years.of age.
Figure 4 shows the characteristics of worksites by economic sector.
Compared to enterprises of the other sectors, Industry and Manufacturing
worksites tended to have fewer employees, there were fewer new enterprises
(less than 20 years old), fewer worksites employed women, most worksites
(77%) had u n i o n s , and few employed persons with more than high school
education. Trade and Commerce worksites tended to be older (47% were 50
years of age or over), and many more employed mostly men (59%). Employees
were better educated than those working in Industry and M a n u f a c t u r i n g .
Finance and Services worksites were larger (27% had 250 or more employees),

more enterprises were newer, one third of worksites employed mostly women,
and employees were much better educated on the average than those working in
the other two sectors of economic activity.
Figure 5 shows the characteristics of worksites by size of worksite.. In
general older enterprises tended to be larger than younger enterprises but
the proportion of male employees, the presence of a union and the general
level of education of employees did not vary much by size of company.
Heart Health Activities
Bomber of activities
Table 3 and Figure 6 show that 20% of worksites did not have any of the
11 heart health activities, 46% had 1-2 activities, and 34% had 3 or more.
The mean number of heart health activities per worksites was 2.2 and the
median was 2. Table 4 shows the mean and median number of heart health
activities per worksite, according to various characteristics of the
worksites. Figure 7 shows the proportion of companies with no activities,
and Figure 8 shows the proportion with 3 or more activities by these same
characteristics.
The data indicate that Industry and Manufacturing worksites had fewer
heart health activities than Trade and Commerce, and Finance and Service
worksites. The number of activities was related to the size of the company,
with larger companies having more activities - over half of companies with
250 or more employees had three or more activities. The proportion of
companies without any activities decreased with increasing age of the

company - 43% of worksites over 50 jrears old had 3 or more activities
compared to only 28% of newer companies. Also the proportion of companies
without any activities decreased from 35% to 11% as the proportion of female
employees increased. Companies where some or all employees were unionized
tended to have more heart health activities than those without unionized
employees, and as the general level of education of èmployees increased, the
number of heart health activities also increased. Finally, worksites with
younger employees tended to have fewer activities than worksites with older
employees.
Characteristics of Existing Activities
This section presents data on each specific heart health activity.
Figure 9 shows that the most frequently reported heart health activities
were smoking policy (53%), sports activities (51%), and employee assistance
programs (27%). Table 5 presents the characteristics of companies which
offered each activity, and Table 6 presents data on who organizes and parti-
cipates in each activity, when and where the activity takes place, and the
length of time the activity has been available. With the exception of sports
and smoking policies, there were few programs offered in each of the other
categories, and therefore the results should be interpreted with cautipn..
Smoking Policy
As indicated earlier, over half of companies (53%) reported that there
was a-smoking policy at the worksite. Unlike many of the other heart health
a c t i v i t i e s , there was little difference in the prevalence of smoking

policies by sector of economic activity. They were, however, reported more
often in larger companies, in companies where most of the employees were
female, in companies where some or all employees were unionized, and in
companies where most employees had more than high school education
(Table 5).
Eighty-six per cent of smoking policies were written. Only one of the
105 companies with smoking policies had a complete ban on smoking. In the
other companies there was tremendous variety in the extent of restriction of
smoking. Among the more common policies were those which restricted smoking
in specific areas (offices, factories, reception areas, cafeterias,
bathrooms, etc.) and those which permitted smoking in only certain specific
areas (offices, cafeterias, employee common rooms, etc.). Among the less
common were those which restricted smoking at certain times of the day or in
the presence or at the request of non-smokers.
The extent and type of area designated as smoking or non-smoking
appeared to be related to the type of enterprise. Elementary and high
schools generally limited smoking to one or two teacher's lounges or
offices. In the Industry and Manufacturing sector, smoking was prohibited
in the factory, warehouse, during work time, in working areas except
offices, in the garage, and near flammable objects. Restaurants generally
prohibited smoking in the kitchen area, some limited smoking in public
service areas or in non-smoking sections of the restaurant or employee
lounge (if such areas existed). Certain enterprises in the Service sector
(hospitals, universities/Cegeps, restaurants, hotels, centres d'accueil,
museums and libraries) incorporated into their policies both the designation
Page 37
of areas where clientele (students, patients, customers, residents) were
permitted to smoke, and areas where they were not permitted to smoke* The
most common areas designated as smoking areas were employee lounges, part or
all of the cafeteria or coffee shop and/or some offices. However, the
extent of restriction varied considerably, from one room to one or two
floors, to smoking everywhere except designated non-smoking rooms.
Over 90% of the companies with smoking policies indicated that employees
fully respected the policy. Only 8% indicated that the policy was not
adhered to. The majority of smoking, policies (40%) had been initiated in
the past year, 33% had been initiated 1-5 years ago, and 27% were initiated
6-10 years ago.
Sports
A total of 267 sport activities were available at the 100 worksites
which indicated they had one or more sports activities- (2.7 sports activi-
ties per company). Of the 267 the most popular activities were baseball
(29%) and hockey (21%). Skiing (8%),- golf (5%), and bowling (2%) were also
popular.
Sports activities were very common in the Trade and Commerce sector,
where 71% of companies indicated that such activities existed (Table 5).
Also over half of Finance and Service worksites had some kind of sports
activities. Larger and older companies had more sports activities, and two
thirds of companies with well-educated employees had sports activities
Page 38
compared to only one third of companies where few employees had more than
high school education*
With exception of events such as golf tournaments for management, most
sports activities were available to all employees (Table 6), and 26% of the
267 were open to employees' families. Most activities took place outside
working hours and off-site (away from the workplace), usually at public or
private facilities. Forty-eight per cent of activities were organized by
employees, 20% by a recreation committee, 15% by management, and 8% were co-
sponsored by employees and management. About 12% of sports activities were
available on a continual basis, 48% took place once a week, 10% once a
m o n t h , and 27% occasionally during the year. Finally, 46% of sports
activities had been initiated in the last five years.
Employee Assistance Program
Overall 27% of companies offered employee assistance programs. They
were most common in the Trade and-Commerce sector of economic, activity, in
larger and older companies, in companies with unionized employees and in
companies with better educated employees (Table 5 ) . In general these
programs were available to all employees upon request and they took place
during working hours (94%) at the worksite (51%) or head office ( 2 1 % ) .
About 60% of employee assistance programs were initiated in the past 5
years. Most programs were organized either, by management or head office
(Table 6).
Page 39
General Health/Wellness Education
About 16% of companies provided pamphlets or other written materials,
videos, or lectures by health professionals on various health topics. These
activities were more frequent in larger worksites, in all-female companies,
in companies with unionized employees and in companies with better-educated
employees (Table 5).
.Most activities were available to all employees at the worksite during
the workday. Two thirds were available on a continual basis, and about half
had been initiated in the past five years. Most activities were organized
by health professionals who either worked for the company or a local health
agency (Table 6).
Alcohol and Drug Programs
About 15% of worksites surveyed offered alcohol and drug programs to
employees. Finance and Services and Trade and Commerce enterprises were
more likely to offer such programs than Industry and Manufacturing
enterprises. One quarter of large worksites provided alcohol and drug
programs compared to 10% of small worksites. Companies where all or most
employees were male were more likely to offer programs than a 11-female
compagnies. Finally companies with unionized employees and those with
better-educated employees were also more likely to provide alcohol and drug
programs (Table 5).
Page 40
About half of alcohol and drug programs were initiated in the past 5
years. They were open to all employees during working hours at the worksite
or head office (Table 6).
Health Risk Appraisal
T w e n t y - s e v e n companies (14%) provide health risk appraisal for
employees. Unlike the other heart health activities, health risk appraisal
was equally available in all sectors of economic activity. Also, the
availability of health risk appraisal did not vary with the proportion of
male employees or the proportion of employees with more than high school
education. However, it was more frequently available in larger companies,
in companies with unionized employees and in those with older employees
(Table 5).
Health risk appraisal services have been available for a longer period
of time than other heart health activities - only 22% had been initiated in
the past 5 years (Table 6).
Smoking Cessation Program
Twenty-six. companies (13%) offered smoking cessation programs to their
employees. Only 4% of Industry and Manufacturing worksites had smoking
cessation activities compared to 12% of Trade and Commerce and 17% of
Finance and Services worksites. Companies with more females, those with
unionized employees and those with better-educated employees tended to have
smoking cessation programs (Table 5).
Page 41
These activities were a relatively new phenomenon - 85% had been
initiated in the past 5 years• They were open to all employees, the
majority were offered upon request (58%), during working hours (73%), at the
worksite (54%) (Table 6).
Fitness
Only 21 companies had fitness activities. None of the 53 Industry and
Manufacturing companies had any fitness activities available for employees•
Larger and older companies, those with better-educated employees and those
with older employees were more likely to have fitness activities (Table 5).
Most fitness activities (76%) had been initiated in the past 5 years
(Table 6). All were open to all employees, about one third took place
during working hours, two thirds took place at the worksite, and three
quarters took place once a week• Most activities were organized by
employees themselves or by a récréation committee.
Nutrition Counseling
Counseling for nutrition or weight control was not a frequent heart
health activity - only 20 companies (10%) offered some kind of -program on
nutrition for employees. Most were in the Finance and Services sector of
economic activity (Table 5).
Counseling was usually undertaken by health professionals. About half
of such services had been initiated in the past 5 years (Table 6).
Page 42
Screening for Hypertension
Only 15 companies screened employees for high blood pressure* Only one
Industry and Manufacturing enterprise provided screening compared to 12% of
Trade and Commerce and 10% of Finance and Services enterprises (Table 5).
Hypertension screening was not a new phenomenon - only 27% of programs had
been initiated in the past 5 years (Table 6).
Interest in New Heart Health Activities
Overall 66% of worksites expressed interest in having new, or more heart
health activities. In 16% of worksites, the level of interest was high*
Twenty-three per cent of . worksites were not at all, interested in new
activities, and 12% of respondents did not know if activities were planned,
or if there was any interest in new activities (Figure 10). About 37% of
worksites expressed interest in new fitness or sports a c t i v i t i e s , 39%
expressed interest in health e d u c a t i o n , and 42% showed interest in
implementing or modifying a smoking policy.
Figure 11 shows interest and Figure 12 shows high level of interest in
new. activities by various characteristics of the worksites* Figure 13 to 15
show interest in sports- or fitness activities, health education, and smoking
policy implementation/modification respectively, by these same characteris-
tics. In general, the patterns observed for each characteristic were very
similar.

Interest tended to be much higher in the Trade and Commerce and Finance
and Services sectors of economic activity, than in Industry and Manufactur-
ing. It increased from 57% in smaller companies to 75% in companies with
250 or more employees. Worksites between 20 and 49 years old showed less
interest than younger or older companies, and companies with unionized
employees expressed more interest than companies without unionized
employees. Interest increased as the. proportion of female employees
increased and it dropped from 79% in companies where most employees had
post-secondary education to 55% in those where few employees had post-
secondary education. Finally interest increased dramatically from 48% in
companies which currently had no heart health activities to 80% in companies
which had 3 or more activities.
\ Figure 16 compares interest in sports/fitness activities, health educa-
tion and smoking policy implementation/modification in companies with and
without each activity. The pattern is consistent for each. Companies which
already have the activity expressed more interest in having new or more of
the same activities, than companies which did not currently have the
activity,.
Respondents who indicated that there were no plans at the worksite to
develop new heart health activities were asked why not. Tables 7 to 9 show
the reasons for no plans for sports/fitness activities, health education
activities and smoking policy implementation/modification, respectively.
Although the numbers are small (and should be interpreted with caution) the
data suggest that the reasons why companies which already have existing

activities were not planning more, were different from the reasons cited by
companies which did not currently have activities.
Not surprisingly over half of companies which currently had sports or
fitness activities reported that there was no demand or need for more
(presumably because their employees were satisfied with existing activi-
ties). They also reported lack of funds as a barrier to more activities.
Companies without existing activities cited lack of interest, demand and
need as the main reasons. Similarly companies without existing health
education activities claimed that there was no interest, demand or need to
plan health education activities.
Of the 68 companies with smoking policies and with no plans to modify
their policy, 82% claimed that there was no demand or need to change the
policy. Over half of companies without smoking policies claimed there was
no need or demand to implement a policy and 22% reported that the reason for
no plans was that smoking policies were an infringement on employees'
rights.

DISCUSSION
This section discusses the response to the survey, the validity of the
findings, the implications of the results and further avenues of research.
Response
A large proportion of companies on the CSST list were ineligible for
inclusion in the survey, either because they had fewer than 50 employees, or
because they were located outside the DSC-MGH territory. Also, because the
CSST lists are updated on a voluntary basis by each worksite, our data may
have excluded a number of eligible worksites which were not on the list.
Worksites which may have been excluded include smaller companies in which
the number of employees fluetuates around 50 (for example, hotels or
restaurants which temporarily increase the number of employees during the
summer tourist season) and new companies which have not yet appeared on the
list. Because of the large number of ineligible worksites on the list, and
because of the possible exclusion of eligible worksites, it would have been
useful to verify the accuracy of the CSST list with a second list, such as
one produced by Dun and Bradstreet. Because of the cost of the Dun and
Bradstreet list, we decided not to undertake this verification at this
point.
The response rate of 90% compares favourably with response rates for
surveys using mailed questionnaires (63% in the British Columbia Workplace
Fitness and Health Promotion Survey; 70% in the Ontario Employee Fitness and
Lifestyle Program Study; 60% in the South Carolina Manufacturing Plants
Page 56
Survey). It was similar to that of other surveys which used the telephone
interviewing strategy (83% in the California Survey and 84% in the Colorado
Survey). Our high response rate ensures good representation of eligible
worksites on the CSST list.
Validity of findings
The validity and reliability of responses, and in particular the measure
of interest, probably varied with the characteristics of the respondent and
the enterprise. In most cases a single respondent was interviewed for each
worksite. That person's occupation, his/her knowledge and degree of
involvement with the company, the length of time he/she had worked for the
company, and his/her personal opinions about health promotion at the
worksite probably influenced the validity of the responses. In smaller
worksites it is conceivable that a single individual could have detailed
knowledge of the existence of all heart health activities at the worksite,
and could accurately reflect the overall level of interest in new
activities. It is less likely that a single respondent could have such
detailed knowledge in a larger company, and could accurately summarize the
overall degree of interest in new heart health activities. However as the
size of the company increased, so did the proportion of respondents who
worked in human resource departments. These respondents may be in close
contact with employees and may provide more accurate responses than
respondents who worked in administration or management.
About one quarter of worksites were head o f f i c e s , one third were
branches or divisions, and 40% were independent worksites. Respondents who
Page 57
worked in branches or divisions of larger companies may have had more
difficulty providing accurate details on specific activities because, in
some cases, the planning and organization of these activities may have taken
place at the head office.
It would have been useful to verify the accuracy of worksite character-
istics with an external source of information. For example, the number of
employees, the proportion of male employees and the number of employees over
50 years of age could be verified against company personnel or payroll
lists, and the presence of a union could be checked with union head office.
In many cases, the respondent voluntarily verified his/her answers with
company records, but this was by no means a consistent approach. Because of
the potential inaccuracy of the responses for worksite characteristics and
because of the small number of worksites in the survey, broad categories of
worksite characteristics were used in the analysis.
F i n a l l y , it is important to note that although our data provide
information on the existence of heart health activities, there are no data
on the content, quality or effectiveness of each activity.
Implications of results
It is encouraging that most worksites had at least one program,
activity, policy or service related to heart health, and that one third had
three or more such activities. As indicated earlier, comparison between
reports on worksite heàlth promotion is difficult because there is no
commonly accepted definition of, worksite health promotion. In addition,
Page 58
because of the specific needs of the DSC-MGH Heart Health Program, our focus
was on heart health activities. To our knowledge no other reports to date
have taken this approach. Although Fielding's definition of health
promotion (*) included more categories than our definition of heart health
activity and excluded smoking policy and sports activities, he found that a
similar proportion of California employers (78%) offered one or more health
promotion activitiès.
The most frequently reported heart health activity in our study was
smoking policy - 53% of respondents reported that there was a smoking policy
in existence at the worksite. The data suggest that smoking policies are a
relatively new phenomenon since many had only recently been implemented. In
fact, up until early 1986, only 32% of the companies surveyed had smoking
policies. This proportion is similar to that reported in the 1985 British
Columbia Survey, in which about one quarter of worksites with 20 or more
employees had clean-air policies. The widespread existence of smoking
policies in our survey is probably related to Bill 84 - Quebec's recent
anti-smoking legislation which protects non-smokers in certain public places
including government agencies, municipal bodies, school bodies, and health
and social services establishments. Worksites covered by the law are
obligated to prohibit smoking in certain areas including rooms or counters
where services are provided, libraries, laboratories, conference rooms,
classrooms, meeting rooms, elevators, etc. Although many worksites are not
covered by Bill 84, they may nonetheless be motivated to implement a smoking
(*) Fielding's definition of health promotion activity included hypertension screening, smoking cessation, weight control, mental health counseling, nutrition training, CPR, choke saver, exercise/fitness, drug/alcohol abuse, stress management, accident prevention, cancer risk reduction, other.
Page 59
policy as the general level of awareness of the harmful effects of
sidestream smoke at the workplace increases, and as non-smoking employees
become more vocal about their rights to clean-air at work.
The data suggest that the number of companies with smoking policies will
continue to increase, since one third of companies currently without
policies expressed interest in implementing one. Also about half of the
companies which already had a policy, expressed interest in increasing the
extent of restriction. This suggests that the process of implementing a
smoking policy is gradual, as employees gradually accept increasing levels
of restriction. About 60 companies surveyed, (30%) did not have smoking
policies and expressed little or no interest in developing one. These
companies present the greatest challenge to the DSC-MGH Heart Health
Program.
Sports activities were very popular and are undoubtedly encouraged by
management to promote company spirit and cohesiveness. Many sports
activities were organized at the initiative and expense of the employees,
indicating the general level of enthusiasm for such activities. Employee
assistance programs also appeared to be quite popular and many companies
expressed interest in developing such programs or other similar programs for
stress management.
Less than 20% of companies had each of the other heart health activities
studied. Many of these activities require organization or participation by
health or other professionals with specialized training, and in consequence,
may be costly to operate. Their lack of popularity may reflect lack of
Page 60
accessibility to professionals trained to deliver these programs and lack of
funds to pay for them. It may be that because of their expense and
complexity, these kinds of programs must be company-sponsored, managed, and r financed if there are to operate successfully.
The data indicate that most fitness classes and smoking cessation
programs had been initiated in the past five years, suggesting that these
are relatively new activities at the worksite,, and that they may continue to
increase in popularity. On the other hand health risk appraisal and hyper-
tension screening appeared to be relatively well-established activities,
with very few having been initiated in the recent past.
In general, the level of interest in the development of new heart health
activities was high, and interest tended to be very high in companies which
already had heart health activities. These companies may have recognized
the beneficial effects of worksites health promotion and are therefore very
positive about having more of the same. Also, since they have already
(successfully) organized such activities, they may be less likely to
perceive difficulties or problems with implementation. The level of
interest in developing new heart health activities was lowest in the
Industry and Manufacturing sector, in smaller companies, in all-male
companies, in companies with poorly educated employees, and in companies
where there were no existing heart health activities. Health promotion
specialists will have to develop innovative techniques to approach these
companies and to foster interest and initiative for heart health programs.
As with other preventive health programs, it seems likely that those who
Page 61
appear least interested in health interventions are also those most likely
to need them.
Future research
Research reports on worksite health promotion are scanty and there are
many areas which need development and further exploration. Research on the
validity and reliability of mail and telephone worksite surveys is badly
needed, since many worksite health promotion efforts will be based on data
collected using these approaches. Efforts should be made to define worksite
health promotion (and more specifically heart health promotion) so that
researchers study similar phenomena, and comparison between reports is
possible. More data should be collected on the content, quality, frequency,
and participation rates of individual activities, and concerted efforts
should be directed towards evaluating the impact of worksite .health
promotion on e m p l o y e e s1 k n o w l e d g e , attitudes and b e h a v i o r s . Cost-
effectiveness of such activities must become a major issue, since profit-
oriented businesses will find the possibility of increased employee
productivity an attractive incentive for implementing health promotion.
Finally, more research is needed to determine the reasons for interest or
lack of interest in worksite health promotion. These data will provide
health promotion specialists with guidelines on possible strategies to
approach low interest worksites and to encourage their involvement in health
promotion.
