information from patients and assigning them primary caregivers (Goetzel et al., 2018). Every
health institution requires to have disease management and case management. These components
help in addressing the specific need which each need in an organization and they can also help
manage a particular health condition (McGuire, 2016). Using the biometric collected data a
health institution can control and manage the spread of a specific infection. A clear
communication portal is also very essential in each healthcare institution, and they keep the
wellness program moving forward by ensuring effective communication.
Components of World Health Organization (WHO) Health Programs and Activities

monitor, control and manage infection in many countries. Its health wellness program is made up
of three significant components. The first one is health promotion. This is the process of the

family care days is also another activity of guaranteeing health promotion.

by setting hospitals all over. The second component is health safety which its primary purpose is
to identify the risk which employees’ encounters and providing tools and equipment’s for
ensuring that they can protect themselves from accidents. It promotes not only psychological
well-being but also physical. It involves activities like safety investigation processes and
organizing agendas for mental health and wellbeing (Issel & Wells, 2017). The last component is

made of many activities which include making policies and procedures for various roles in
workplaces.
WHO EAP Programs and Cultural Considerations
It is the role of each organization to make sure that the mental and healthy wellbeing of
its employees is in excellent condition. An organization like WHO has implemented incentive
structures to ensure that its employees are motivated. They achieve this by making sure that
while at work employees can access balanced diet food which is significant to their health. To
boost the morale of its employees the organization also need to give them incentives which
motivates them and they end up increasing productivity as well as providing high-quality
services to its clients.
