The World Health Organisation in 2016, estimated 41 million deaths occurred Worldwide due to non- communicable diseases (NCDs). These NCDs account for 71% of the overall total of 57 million deaths annually with the majority of deaths being caused by the four main NCDs. These are cardiovascular disease (17.9 million deaths; accounting for 44% of all NCD deaths); cancer (9.0 million deaths; 22%); chronic respiratory disease (3.8 million deaths; 9%); and diabetes (1.6 million deaths; 4%).
Poor health significantly affects people’s quality of life and ability to function effectively (AIHW, 2016) and plays a significant role in societal and economic costs, affecting the cost of health care, with presenteeism and absenteeism affecting organisational success.
Evidence supports how lifestyle choices such as smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, stress management and physical activity levels contribute to health (AIHW, 2016). Research also supports how the working environment contributes to our overall health (WHO, 2018). Therefore, organisations have become a suitable setting for Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) with health professionals working to ensure safe, stimulating, satisfying and enjoyable environments for workers (Jørgensen et al., 2017).

This assessment focuses on developing your knowledge and understanding of the impact of the corporate environment on the physical, psychological, economic and psycho-social wellbeing of workers. You will develop your assessment skills in evaluating the corporate health of a business, including identifying its impact on physical, psychological, economic and social wellbeing of workers.
You will also develop your written communication skills for improving the health of workers by preparing a Business Case outlining your findings.

Instructions:
In assessment 1, you analyzed the Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) needs of an organisation or industry. In this assessment, you are required to build upon this knowledge and understanding by choosing an organisation that: you have researched in assessment 1; operates in the same industry; OR by choosing an organisation in a different industry. The organisation you choose can be one that you have experience with, or related to your future goals and aspirations. Remember, some organisations may not be able to reveal specific data but may be willing to share insights on practices or experiences in WHP. Furthermore, you will gain better insights if you have access to an organisation rather than choosing to evaluate an unknown entity to you.
