Abstract

V magistrskem delu smo obravnavali promocijo zdravja na delovnem mestu, s poudarkom na zaposlene v ambulanti medicine dela, prometa in športa (MDPŠ). Zdravje zaposlenih predstavlja enega ključnih dejavnikov uspešnosti in trajnostnega razvoja vsake organizacije, zato je pomembno, da delodajalci vlagajo v aktivnosti, ki prispevajo k telesnemu, duševnemu in socialnemu blagostanju svojih sodelavcev. V teoretičnem delu naloge smo predstavili, kaj je promocija zdravja, kakšni so njeni cilji ter kakšne oblike in ukrepe lahko organizacije izvajajo za izboljšanje zdravja zaposlenih. Posebno pozornost smo namenili dejavnikom nezdravega življenjskega sloga, kot so telesna nedejavnost, neuravnotežena prehrana, pomanjkanje spanja, dolgotrajno sedenje in stres. Predstavili smo vpliv izbranih dejavnikov na pojavnost kroničnih bolezni, poslabšanje psihofizičnega počutja ter zmanjšanje delovne učinkovitosti in zadovoljstva zaposlenih. Prav tako smo izpostavili potencialne koristi za organizacije ob uvedbi ukrepov promocije zdravja, med katerimi izstopajo zmanjšanje bolniških odsotnosti, večja motivacija zaposlenih ter izboljšanje delovne klime. V raziskovalnem delu smo izvedli empirično raziskavo med zaposlenimi v ambulanti MDPŠ, s katero smo želeli ugotoviti, kako zaznavajo promocijo zdravja na svojem delovnem mestu. S pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika smo raziskovali, ali so zaposleni seznanjeni z aktivnostmi promocije zdravja, v kolikšni meri v njih sodelujejo, kako te aktivnosti vplivajo na njihovo zdravje in počutje ter katere izboljšave bi si želeli. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali menijo, da delodajalec dovolj spodbuja zdrav življenjski slog in kakšen pomen pripisujejo skrbi za zdravje na delovnem mestu. Rezultati ankete so pokazali, da večina zaposlenih prepoznava pomen zdravega življenjskega sloga in pozitivno ocenjuje podporo delodajalca. Kljub temu se mnogi ne čutijo vključeni v oblikovanje aktivnosti, informiranost pa ostaja omejena. Statistična analiza ni potrdila povezave med seznanjenostjo ali nagradami in sodelovanjem, vendar so se pokazali pomembni trendi, ki nakazujejo, da ima organizacijska podpora ključno vlogo pri učinkoviti promociji zdravja.

Secondary title:	The effectiveness of workplace health promotion: an analysis and implementation of strategies to promote healthy lifestyles among employees
Secondary abstract:	In this master’s thesis, we explored the topic of workplace health promotion, with a focus on employees at the occupational, traffic, and sports medicine outpatient clinic (MDPŠ). Employee health is one of the key factors for the success and sustainable development of any organization. Therefore, it is important that employers invest in activities that contribute to the physical, mental, and social well-being of their staff. In the theoretical part of the thesis, we presented the concept of health promotion, its objectives, and the types of measures that organizations can implement to improve employee health. Special attention was given to risk factors associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, such as physical inactivity, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, prolonged sitting, and stress. We described how these factors affect the occurrence of chronic diseases, reduced mental and physical well-being, and lower work performance and job satisfaction. Additionally, we discussed the benefits of implementing workplace health promotion programs, including reduced absenteeism, increased motivation, and improved workplace climate. In the empirical part, we conducted a research study among employees at the MDPŠ outpatient clinic to examine their perception of health promotion in the workplace. Using a questionnaire, we investigated whether employees are familiar with health promotion activities, how often they participate in them, how these activities affect their health and well-being, and what improvements they would like to see. We were also interested in whether employees believe that their employer sufficiently supports a healthy lifestyle and how important they find employer-driven health initiatives. The research findings revealed that while most employees are aware of the importance of health promotion, they would like to see more concrete activities and stronger leadership support in this area. The majority recognized the positive impact of health promotion on their well-being and job satisfaction, while also highlighting the need for a more systematic approach. Based on the collected data, we proposed recommendations for upgrading current measures to contribute to better employee health, higher motivation, and improved long-term performance. The survey results indicated that the majority of employees recognize the importance of a healthy lifestyle and positively evaluate the employer’s support. Nevertheless, many do not feel included in the design of health promotion activities, and overall awareness remains limited. Although statistical analysis did not confirm a significant correlation between awareness or incentives and participation, important trends emerged suggesting that organizational support plays a crucial role in the effective implementation of workplace health promotion.
