Health and Productivity Management (HPM) is a new way of viewing health in the workplace. It calls for companies to do more to keep employees healthy, like investing in health coaching programs, building on-site wellness facilities, and screening for and managing chronic disease.

With conscientious implementation of HPM, the health – and therefore the lives – of American workers can be improved. What’s in it for the companies? Those who adopt HPM are finding that not only do healthy workers cost a company less – they can actually boost productivity.
