Well-being programs have their place

Many Australian newspapers include articles about workplace health in their job ad or professionals sections.  On May 3 2014 the Weekend Australia included an article called “Working harder for health“.  The article touches on most of the usual elements of such articles

• individual responsibility;
• increased productivity;
• medical screenings; and
• vaccinations and fruit bowls.
