INTRODUCTION: About one-third of the day goes on in the workplace. Therefore, strategies that benefit the quality of life of workers become important. OBJECTIVE: To investigate determinants of quality of life after three months of workers' health promotion programs. METHODS: An experimental design was used to verify the quality of life outcomes of 190 workers. The interventions lasted three months. Company A received the exercise program, posters with recommendations on health and quality of life and computer software; Company B received only an exercise program; Company C received posters with recommendations on health and quality of life and computer software, Company D was the control. All assessments of the quality of work life occurred through the questionnaire QVS-80. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, the Z test and Cronbach's alpha test. RESULTS: The main factors that interfered in the quality of life were: physical activity focused on aesthetics, physical fitness, smoking, physical activity recommended by a doctor, sitting time, family life, sleep quality, income. Comparing national data to the present study for all chronic diseases self-reported, statistically significant differences were observed. Physical activity for aesthetic reasons is the variable that most negatively influences on the perception of quality of life. CONCLUSION: These data help to reflect on the importance of combined strategies such as physical activity implementation and the understanding on the lifestyle components in the workplace.
