Improving Population Health: Why Linking Benefit Design with Health and Safety Matters

The human factor in the workplace is much more than just keeping people safe and preventing illness and injury. Momentum must continuously build toward recognizing and supporting the whole person by offering benefits that encourage healthy practices inside and outside of work to ensure the physical and psychological safety of culturally and ethnically diverse employees. Investing in workforce health and safety by partnering with occupational medicine experts enhances prevention, disability management, family and medical leave, return-to-work processes, and productivity, leading to healthier, happier, and more productive workplaces and communities.
