Knowledge of health-related employer benefits is considered a core competency by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. This study seeks to understand how this translates into practice.
An electronic survey was e-mailed to members of American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine Corporate Medicine and Health and Human Performance Sections; Integrated Benefits Institute; and Employer Health Innovation Roundtable.
One hundred nineteen responses were received, including 54 from corporate medical directors (CMDs) and 43 from employee benefits professionals, from a variety of industries. Fifty percent of CMDs reported expertise in designing benefits, but only 25% are engaged with health benefits. The majority of CMDs thought that their involvement was important, while the majority of benefits professionals thought that it was not important.
Many CMDs report having benefits expertise but being underutilized while others report not having expertise.
美国职业医学学院认为，与健康相关的雇主福利知识是一项核心能力。本研究旨在了解这如何转化为实践。
向美国职业医学学院企业医学和健康与人类绩效部门、综合福利协会以及雇主健康创新圆桌会议的成员发送了电子调查。
共收到 119 份回复，其中包括 54 名企业医疗主任（CMD）和 43 名员工福利专业人员，来自不同行业。50%的 CMD 报告在设计福利方面有专业知识，但只有 25%的人参与健康福利。大多数 CMD 认为他们的参与很重要，而大多数福利专业人员认为这并不重要。
许多 CMD 报告拥有福利专业知识但未被充分利用，而其他 CMD 报告则没有相关专业知识。
