Health and Productivity Management Center

Smart business leaders are confronting spiraling health costs in a new way: by promoting a healthier workforce. They recognize that health and wellness programs can actually improve productivity, bringing a better return to the bottom line than mere cost containment.

This concept is at the heart of a major new initiative ACOEM:

• Webinars – A taped webinar on Introduction to HPM is available through the ACOEM Shopping Cart.  A webinar on Depression in the Workplace is being planned for July.

• HPM Toolkit – ACOEM offers the most thorough site on HPM available –The Health and Productivity Management Toolkit is a special workplace resource created by ACOEM.  The Toolkit helps individuals understand the concepts of Health and Productivity Management (HPM) and the value of a healthy workforce by providing access to video, audio and written content – including more than 1,000 pages of academic and research material – that you can use to build your skills in Health and Productivity Management.   The HPM Toolkit will be periodically updated and is available through an on-line subscription.
