- GP2S (the Group for Prevention and Promotion Strategies) is a not-for-profit organization created to encourage Quebec companies to adopt comprehensive employee health programs. Founded in 2005, GP2S fulfills its mandate by strategically assisting employers in the development, implementation, and maintenance of their programs. The organization also strives to create a supportive environment for employers by collaborating with other key stakeholders in Quebec. Through these efforts, GP2S hopes to enhance health and prevent disease among Quebec-based employees..
- Though still modest in scope at this stage, GP2S has contributed to notable firm-level achievements for several key Quebec employers. The organization’s campaign to create a supportive environment for employers, by “mobilizing” other influential stakeholders, is also off to a solid start. In light of these successes, other not-for-profit organizations should consider replicating the GP2S model, both in Canada and abroad.
