In 1996, with the help of about 30 people from 18 countries, the International Institute for Health Promotion (IIHP) was formed. It has grown to some 80 institutions in a network of hundreds of people in the world. Their purpose is to promote information sharing and collaboration among international scientists, industry, governments, foundations, and other thought leaders in health professional.

When asked which countries were taken over the leadership of Dr. Karch says, "Canada is very progressive mid-'70s through the early '80s. Some early work was so ahead of the United States, and served as a model other countries. But we approached more than a public health perspective, and less than a workplace health initiative. "

Countries such as Japan and Brazil as part of the required annual physicals for employees health programs for many years. As a result, they collected valuable information on the health of the workforce and developed a strong workplace wellness programs. While other countries - like Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Singapore - are also strong programs, most of us, especially in the private sector.

Although credit goes to the private sector a greater role for government in the near future. Subsidiaries of U.S. based companies now operate in many other countries, and the management wants to implement initiatives that have seen America. As these companies move people to other countries, employee wellness concepts to go with them. Academics visiting the U.S. to attend conferences and take ideas back to organizations in their own country.
