Research shows that employee health status directly influences work behavior, attendance and on-the-job performance. High-performance companies clearly understand the human-capital-driven health and work behavior equation.

That’s why more than 75 percent of high-performing companies regularly measure health status as a viable component of their overall risk management strategy. This new SHRM Foundation report, Promoting Employee Well-Being: Wellness Strategies to Improve Health, Performance and the Bottom Line will help you assess your organization’s health risk, lower your health care costs and develop a healthier workplace culture. It summarizes the latest research on wellness and prevention programs and their impact on the workforce.

The SHRM Foundation created the Effective Practice Guidelines series in 2004 for busy HR professionals like you. It can be a challenge for practitioners with limited time to keep up with the latest research results. By integrating research findings on what works with expert opinion on how to conduct effective HR practice, this series provides the tools you need to successfully practice evidence-based management. Recent reports in this series include Transforming HR Through Technology, Onboarding New Employees and The Search for Executive Talent.

This report is the 14th in the series. Subject matter experts write the reports, which are then reviewed by both academics and practitioners to ensure that the material is research-based, comprehensive and practical. Each report also includes a “Suggested Readings” section as a convenient reference tool. All reports are available online for free download at www.shrm.org/foundation.

The Effective Practice Guidelines series is just one way the SHRM Foundation supports lifelong learning for HR professionals. In addition to creating educational resources, the SHRM Foundation is a major funder of original, rigorous HR research that expands the HR knowledge base. It also awards more than $150,000 annually in education and certification scholarships to SHRM members.

The Foundation’s work is made possible by the generous support of its donors. I encourage you to learn more.
