ABSTRACT
Companies today face the challenges of paying for unprecedented increases in employee healthcare costs and benefits, maximizing the performance of their workers and managing the risks to the organization. This article argues that the integration of the three major kinds of health and productivity management (HPM) services-employee assistance programs (EAP), work-life programs, and health and wellness programs-offers a potent combination of tools for meeting these business goals. The use of these kinds of HPM programs in a comprehensive fashion can yield significant return on investment (ROI) for the company and improve the lives of the employees as well.
