Introducing a participatory workplace environmental improvement program by a part-time occupational health physician: Barriers, facilitators, and implementation strategies
This study identified facilitators and barriers to introducing participatory workplace environmental improvement programs. Findings suggest that part-time occupational health physicians should provide educational materials and opportunities to build confidence among internal implementation leaders in client companies. Further research should incorporate more on-site practitioner feedback to refine implementation strategies and evaluate their effectiveness.
