Health Metrics Reporting

VISIONS: By 2020, workforce health metrics will be an integral indicator of overall organizational performance within the broader corporate accountability framework. They will be core to existing corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and integrated reporting, and critical for consideration by all shareholders and potential investors.

We are identifying which evidence-based, high-level metrics should be reported on by companies, for them to be used as follows: 1) By companies, to elevate the issue of employee health and well-being to the C-Suite level 2) By shareholders and investors, to evaluate companies managing their risks and enhancing profitability.
