Are Unhealthy Employees Undermining Your Organization's Profit Goals?

30 Important Questions To Consider About Workplace Health

According to Tom Parry, Ph.D., President of Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI), "… the cost of unhealthy employees to US organizations is greater than the combined revenues of Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, eBay and Adobe."

All causes of health-related yearly absences total approximately 893 million days and are responsible for about 527 million lost workdays (2020 data). This equals almost 1.4 billion days of employees' absence each year. This number is more than EVERY nurse in the US missing an entire year of work!

Harvard University saysorganizations get back $3.27 for every $1.00 they spend on healthcare services. However, these dollars are squandered if organizations fail to implement successful, evidence-based, holistic, integrated strategies for managing workplace health.

The HEALS Integrated Wellness Strategy was developed to help organizations comprehend the essentials of implementing a successfully integrated strategy for improving workplace health and wellness, The following are the areas assessed in our integrated wellness strategy:

Absence Management
Comprehensive Health Risk Assessment (CHRA)
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
Employer-subsidized health plans
Individual Health
Health and wellness promotion
Occupational health
Organizational health
Workers’ compensation

To start, we first need to determine how effective your health and wellness programs are. We do this by using The HEALS Organizational Assessment Tool.

The HEALS Organizational Assessment Tool poses a series of 30 yes/no question in 5 categores that are scored using the following metric: Yes=1, No=0. The overall total represents the Severity Score, which equals the effectiveness of your health and wellness programs. See the table below.

Score	Severity Rating
0-6	Critical
7-12	Severe
13-18	Major
19-24	Moderate
25+	Minimal

After reviewing your score, it is now time to determine what changes are needed. The changes may entail revising or replacing current policies, procedures, programs, or work processes. These changes should advance the organization's health mission and vision.
