摘要

Background

Workplace health promotion (WHP) is voluntary activity of employers aimed at improving health and well-being of employees. This study aimed to assess the employees’ perceptions of employer-provided WHP activities in Poland as well as to identify factors associated with reported WHP provision and the use of WHP activities among full-time employees aged 18–60 years.

Methods

This questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was carried out in December 2025 among 1030 full-time employees aged 18–60 years in Poland using the computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) methodology. Quota sampling was used, with gender, age, and place of residence included into stratification model.

Results

Among the respondents, 49.8% worked in private Polish company, 26.6% worked in companies with more than 500 employees. Most of the respondents rated their job satisfaction as rather satisfied (61.2%), 64.2% had non-manual work, and 58.5% worked on fixed daytime hours. Among the respondents (n = 1030), 42.2% declared that their employer offers WHP – 20.1% regularly and 22.1% occasionally. Half of respondents, often (40.7%) or very often (9.9%) used WHP activities available in their workplace. Lack of time was the most common (34.5%) barrier in the use of WHP activities. Job satisfaction was the only socio-demographic variable that differentiated (p < 0.001) uptake of employer-provided WHP activities. Age 18–54 (p < 0.05), living in cities over 500,000 residents (aOR: 1.58; 95%CI: 1.02–2.45; p = 0.04), working in private foreign-owned company (aOR: 2.56; 95%CI:1.72–3.79; p < 0.001), working in company with more than 500 employees (aOR: 2.74; 95%CI: 1.59–4.73; p < 0.001), being rather satisfied (aOR: 3.90; 95%CI: 1.94–7.72; p < 0.001) or very satisfied (aOR: 5.66; 95%CI: 2.65–12.11; p < 0.001) from the current job; manager, director level or executive position (p < 0.05), as well as shift work including night shifts (aOR: 1.90; 95%CI: 1.16–3.11; p = 0.01) or flexible working hours (aOR: 1.95; 95%CI:1.30–2.94; p = 0.001) were significantly associated with higher odds of reporting access to WHP activities.

Conclusions

This study provides an overview of WHP activities in Poland. Less than half of full-time employees in Poland reported access to employer-provided WHP, with significant differences by sociodemographic and job-related factors.
