Health Circle

Back to Glossary

Health circles are groups or teams of employees within a company or organization who meet regularly to discuss health topics together, share information about health-promoting measures, and pursue shared goals in the area of health. These circles serve to strengthen health awareness, foster personal responsibility for one's own health, and create a supportive social environment for health-promoting behaviors. By taking part in health circles, employees can experience mutual support and motivation, learn new health strategies, adopt positive behaviors, and make long-term lifestyle changes. Health circles are an effective tool within workplace health management for promoting health awareness and improving employees' health and well-being.
