Interest in quantifying the relationship between health status and lost productivity has accelerated among employers, researchers, and benefits advisors. Our objective was to engage a dialogue to highlight important productivity measurement issues for consideration in an overall business strategy.
Critical review of selected topical literature.
Four functions of productivity measurement are described: 1) the purposes of a measurement initiative, 2) norms and benchmarking, 3) health and productivity cost estimators, and 4) reporting results. Each function is described in detail; challenges are noted; examples are provided.
This article supports the Integrated Benefits Institute consensus statements on productivity, underscoring the need to develop a conceptual framework of productivity measurement that guides the maturation of instruments and sets forth recommendations for their application consistent with the descriptive, comparative, and evaluative functions that foster health, well-being, and work performance.
