The health of the economically active population is the most significant component of national wealth and a special economic resource that largely dictates the effectiveness of a country’s socioeconomic development. Nowadays, more and more companies are engaging in socially responsible business. The introduction of corporate health promotion programmes in the workplace can improve the health and well-being of the working-age population and also enhance the economic efficiency of employee conduct. Not only do the programmes directly cover medical issues (screenings, preventive examinations, etc.), they also aim to combat bad habits, promote healthy nutrition and corporate sports, and preserve people’s psychological health and well-being. The national telethon #HEALTHYTOGETHER Health Marathon, which was held in the Russian Federation Council as part of the project ‘Social Focus: Ideas of the New Times’ of the upper parliament’s Council for the Development of Social Innovations of the Regions of the Russian Federation and aims to promote the best social practices for preserving the health of the working population and creating an environment that is conducive to protecting people’s health, is the first team-building event as part of systematic work to preserve the health of the working population and has created new prospects for the joint and integrated work of government, business, and civil society to establish new unified health management mechanisms at the regional and municipal levels. What new approaches are needed to health management at the regional and municipal levels? What is the role of the regional and municipal authorities and business in maintaining and improving the health of the working population? How can we intensify interaction between government, business, and civil society to improve public health? What effective practices exist to promote worker health?
