important, they are not usually under the auspices of the health promotion agenda and are therefore listed separately. 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3, 9.2.1, 9.2.2, 9.2.3, 9.3.1, 9.3.2, 9.4.1, 9.4.2, 9.5.1, 9.6.1, 9.7.1, 9.7.2, 9.7.3, 9.7.4, 9.8.1, 9.8.2

**Also a significant decrease in recorded absenteeism.
Organizational health support (OHS) can be measured reliably and accurately.
Relationships exist between OHS measures and employee health risks, health culture, absenteeism, and selected health care costs.
OHS can be improved relatively easily and cost effectively.
Employee health risk profiles stabilize with organization-focused intervention.
Most OHS variables remain following intervention.
OHS tools can be integrated within a comprehensive worksite health promotion intervention
