Conditions of professional activity, their evaluation criteria and approaches to optimization are also radically changing. Efforts and resources for health care are still focused on disease treatment; declared shift in emphasis to prevention is implemented formally and does not bring tangible results. Our purpose is to show problems in employment against the backdrop of globalization in the context of determinants of public health. The discussion presents problem interpretation in accordance with the common european strategy of security and health at work and standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO). It is pointed out that attitude to health and medical activity largely depends on personnel policy, corporate culture and values. Active exchange of information between employees, managers and all health services is an important reserve to increase efficiency of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation. Findings suggest the importance of intersectoral collaboration in health care of workers and working environment improvement. Results of this study can be used in scientific research and for decision-making by bodies of economic management, health and social protection.working environmentsocial determinants of healthintersectoral collaborationпроизводственная средадетерминанты общественного здоровьямежсекторальное сотрудничество1.Benach J., Benavides F., Platt S., Diez-Poux A., Muntaner C.
