Abstract: Workplace health promotion (WHP) can be the starting point for organizational development towards becoming a healthy organization offering good jobs. Participative processes are explicit standards for designing WHP thought to always be positive for the workforce. However, they may also result in employees creating ideal contexts for overexertion. This paper critically examines the potentials of co-creation in the employee health context and as standard for creating the good job. We do this analyzing the employee health-related co-creational processes in a faith-based hospital using multimethod organizational analysis with observational, ethnographic and interventional elements. The results indicate that the professionalism of the employees and sharing organizational goals can prevent co-creating more stress and strain.
