During the past two decades, corporate management has come to take an active role in health promotion programming for employees.However, little attention has been given to how contemporary worksite health programs in fact blur the traditional distinction between work and private life. This has resulted in that little research on the other side of the work-health nexus: how employers factor health considerations into workforce management and productivity control. At a more fundamental level, the advancement of work-site health promotion may be a sign of a new or altered corporate health ethic: in contrast to the old corporate health ethic that was narrow and specific to the workplace, the new corporate health ethic appears to judge the whole employee ; the risks one faces and the abilities one has to shoulder the responsibility for developing into a real corporate value.
