The objective of this study was to estimate productivity-related savings associated with employee participation in health promotion programs.
Propensity score weighting and multiple regression techniques were used to estimate savings. These techniques were adjusted for demographic and health status differences between participants who engaged in one or more telephonic health management programs and nonparticipants who were eligible for but did not engage in these programs.
Employees who participated in a program and successfully improved their health care or lifestyle showed significant improvements in lost work time. These employees saved an average of $353 per person per year. This reflects about 10.3 hours in additional productive time annually, compared with similar, but nonparticipating employees.
Participating in health promotion programs can help improve productivity levels among employees and save money for their employers.
本研究旨在估计员工参与健康促进计划所带来的与生产力相关的节省。
采用倾向评分加权和多元回归技术来估算节省的金额。这些技术根据参与一个或多个电话健康管理计划的员工与符合条件但未参与这些计划的非参与者之间的人口统计学和健康状况差异进行了调整。
参与并成功改善其医疗保健或生活方式的员工在工作时间损失方面显示出显著改善。这些员工每人每年平均节省 353 美元。这反映了与类似但未参与的员工相比,每年增加了约 10.3 小时的生产时间。
参与健康促进计划可以帮助提高员工的生产力水平,并为雇主节省资金。
