Introduction: Protecting and promoting health of employees through the implementation of measures to correct risk factors in the workplace is an important mechanism for achieving the strategic goal of increasing healthy life expectancy. Aim: To develop and pilot a package of tools for planning and implementing workplace well-being programs. Methods: In 2019, the federal project "Strengthening Public Health" was launched, within the framework of which model corporate programs were developed and published, including measures aimed at correcting smoking, poor nutrition, insufficient physical activity, psycho-emotional overstrain and excessive alcohol consumption. A set of tools has been developed to facilitate the development and implementation of workplace well-being programs, maximally focused on the needs of a particular enterprise. The set of tools include a questionnaire for the employer and a questionnaire for employees. Results: The set of tools has been tested by mailing to the chief freelance specialists in medical prevention of 28 regions of the Russian Federation, who responsible for the implementation of workplace well-being programs in the regions. Five hundred and eighty-eight completed questionnaires were received (among them 35 from employers, and 553 from employees). The analysis of the piloting results allowed us to make a number of adjustments to the questionnaires and confirm the importance of studying workers' presentiment in planning workplace well-being programs. The improved questionnaires are available online at https://atriya.gnicpm.ru/ . Conclusion: We developed the set of instruments which must be useful for implementation of the workplace well-being programs. Surveys of employers contribute to obtaining a snapshot of the attitudes and priorities of employers in the region to plan targeted measures to stimulate the implementation of workplace well-being programs at the regional level. Questionnaires for employees can be used for an indepth assessment of the priorities on the concrete workplace and development of a targeted program to the needs of a particular enterprise
