Worldwide Logistics Services Inc. in assessing

his company's workplace health training program.

WITH the increase in health risks faced by employees, more companies are seeing the need for health programs in their workplaces. However, setting up one does not just include conducting thrice-a-week Zumba classes, or putting up a “No Smoking” sign in their offices but so much more.
