“…CSR and WHP are linked, and there are positive reciprocal effects between them (Bamberg et al, 2019 ). Work-related diseases and accidents impose high costs on the economy and have negative effects for employees and their families (Tanner et al, 2019 ).…”

“…All potential resources available should be aware of the mutual importance of CSR and WHP. However, Bamberg et al ( 2019 ) notice that persons in charge of health promotion are rarely informed about CSR programmes. Macassa et al ( 2021 ) highlight the need for health science researchers to be incorporated into discussions about the potential impact of internal CSR on employee health as well as on OHS outcomes beyond job satisfaction.…”

“…Its focus on social outcomes, particularly the impacts on employees, should place OHS at the center of CSR. At the same time, one interesting way to improve the implementation of CSR in the organizations is to integrate CSR into specific fields of action, such as WHP (Bamberg et al, 2019), remembering that an uncontroversial issue is that companies already have a social responsibility in complying with the classic obligations of health and safety at work (Siegel et al, 2021). Macassa et al (2017) suggest a joint agenda for CSR and global health promotion as part of sustainable development, which would integrate, firstly, CSR and sustainability from a health perspective and, secondly, the promotion of the health of stakeholders from the perspective of sustainable development.…”

“…The WHP inspired by CSR goes beyond the limits of organizations and includes interactions with other organizations in their value chain. To spread the idea of WHP and to connect WHP and CSR, networking is a beneficial and useful first step (Tanner et al, 2019), as interactions allow sharing experiences, making decisions together or even modifying processes (Bamberg et al, 2019). Communicating the efforts that the organizations do through standardized procedures is relevant.…”

The complex situation that global society is facing as a result of COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of companies committing to the principles of social responsibility. Among the internal initiatives, those related to the health of workers are, obviously, highly topical. The objective of our research is to provide concise knowledge of the relationship between workplace health promotion (WHP) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) so that the relevant specialized research was gathered in a single document that lays the foundations of its applicability. A systematic review, following the PRISMA method, has been carried out. Twenty-seven articles have been selected from the main scientific databases. Their qualitative analysis concludes that CSR and WHP are linked, have beneficial reciprocal effects, need committed leadership respectful of autonomy and voluntariness, and require the establishment of specific goals within the framework of the organizations' sustainability policies. Future studies should establish the impact of the pandemic on these aspects.

PurposeThe aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of corporate health initiatives as part of CSR, and how and to what extent these initiatives are communicated in CSR reports.Design/methodology/approachThe study comprises two strands. First, a mapping of the extent and nature of health-related CSR initiatives among 11 selected Danish companies is developed, based on a qualitative email questionnaire. Next, the mapping serves as the framework for coding and analyzing CSR reports from 2018 to 2020 from 15 companies (45 in total).FindingsThe study provides a typology of the extent and nature of such CSR initiatives consisting of more than 50 types of health-related initiatives. Analysis of the CSR reports illustrates an increase in the explicit communication of employee health initiatives as well as the number of different categories applied over the three years.Practical implicationsThe study provides CSR managers with awareness about the extent and usage of employee health as part of corporate communication on CSR, including how such initiatives can be communicated in the CSR report. It also gives rise to carefully considering the potential negative implications for employees when planning health initiatives.Originality/valueThe study is the first of its kind to combine the perspectives of CSR and workplace health promotion to discuss the potential institutionalization of employee health as part of the corporate CSR program.
