Description:Objective:
To conduct a cross-sectional assessment of the adoption of Total Worker Health® (TWH) policies and practices by business size and evaluate extent and alignment of their safety and health.
Methods:
We conducted an analysis of 382 businesses that completed the Health Links™ Assessment. We measured organizational adoption of TWH across six benchmarks: organizational supports, workplace assessments, health policies and programs, safety, engagement, and evaluation.
Results:
Benchmark scores were significantly associated with business size. Larger businesses were more likely to score higher across each benchmark.
Conclusions:
Small businesses are implementing TWH in a variety of ways and the level of implementation differs by business size. Practical interventions as well as dissemination and implementation research should take business size into account to ensure TWH is both effective and sustainable in meeting the needs of employees.
