The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between health status and productivity loss and to provide estimates of the business implications of lost work performance. Health risk appraisal responses from over 1 million participants were analyzed to determine productivity loss associated with several common health conditions and health risks. Propensity scores and a matching technique were used to create analysis groups that differed only by presence of a particular health condition or risk. Results were monetized and multiplied by the average number of employees with conditions or risks to illustrate the potential impact of productivity loss to employers. Costs of productivity loss were compared to medical costs for the same conditions and health risks. Practical benchmarks of lost work performance may help employers assess the financial impact of suboptimal health in their own companies. Estimates of lost work time can help employers realize the value of maintaining a healthy population.
本研究旨在确定健康状况与生产力损失之间的关系，并估算工作表现不佳给企业带来的经济影响。对超过 100 万参与者的健康风险评估结果进行了分析，以确定与几种常见健康状况和健康风险相关的生产力损失。采用倾向评分和匹配技术创建了分析组，这些组仅在存在特定健康状况或风险方面存在差异。将结果进行货币化处理，并乘以具有该状况或风险的员工的平均人数，以说明生产力损失对雇主的潜在影响。将生产力损失成本与相同状况和健康风险的医疗成本进行了比较。工作表现不佳的实际基准可能有助于雇主评估其公司中健康状况不佳的经济影响。对工作时间损失的估计可以帮助雇主认识到保持健康人群的价值。
