  BACKGROUND:
  
  The workplace is an important setting for health protection, health promotion, and disease prevention programs. In the school setting, employee health and well-being programs can address many physical and emotional concerns of school staff. This systematic review summarizes evidence-based approaches from employee health and well-being interventions supporting nutrition and physical activity (PA) in a variety of workplace settings.
  
  METHODS:
  
  The 2-phase systematic review included a search for articles within systematic reviews that met our criteria (addressing employee health and well-being programs; published 2010–2018; Phase 1) and the identification of individual articles from additional searches (addressing school-based employee interventions; published 2010–2020; Phase 2). We included 35 articles.
  
  FINDINGS:
  
  Across all studies and types of interventions and workplace settings, findings were mixed; however, multicomponent interventions appeared to improve health behaviors and health outcomes among employees.
  
  IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY:
  
  Schools can apply this evidence from employee health and well-being programs in various workplace settings to implement coordinated and comprehensive employee health and well-being programs.
  
  CONCLUSIONS:
  
  Employee health and well-being programs may be effective at supporting nutrition and PA. Schools can use findings from employee health and well-being programs in workplaces other than schools to support school staff.
