| Summary: | An ideal environment in the workplace is essential to employees and users because of its excellent and positive effect on their general well-being and health. To maintain the general well-being and health of the employee, the implementation of a healthy working environment is recommended for an office or workplace. A healthy workplace enables employees to benefit from maximum satisfaction as well as the commitment to their work, thus giving a powerful impact on the productivity of the organisation. However, employees and users have no awareness of how to produce healthy environments and practices in the workplace. Therefore, this study aimed to attain determinants of the healthy workplace in an office building through the identification of healthy workplace elements. Ample literature review was conducted to identify healthy workplace elements and criteria and further to explore its determinants. It is found that healthy workplaces comprise two factors; namely healthy environments and healthy practices. Healthy practices are generally advantageous in the short term, whereas a healthy environment gives long-term advantages. This research is expected to supply additional information to employees and employers regarding the significance of healthy workplaces, hence, it will improve the implementation of a healthy workplace in an office building.
