Creating Value Through Occupational Health Management
- In this paper we want to review and discuss research on the effects of occupational health management activities and services on different outcomes like employee health and well-being or absenteeism and other economic outcomes. In part I we outline goals and functions of occupational health management (OHM), then characterize typical occupational health promotion interventions and describe principles for implementing and organizing OHM. Part II focuses on different OHM activities and services such as creating healthy and safe workplace, reducing work-family conflicts, providing counselling via employee assistance programs and implementing health circles or stress management interventions. We will also discuss intervention design and sample studies as well as meta-analytic data relating to the effectiveness of these interventions. Finally, part III is about the economic impact of OHM. Findings from a management evaluation approach for OHM will be discussed. Then we will concentrate especially on data linking health promotion interventions to absenteeism and financial outcomes expressed as cost savings or cost-benefit ratios. The concluding part summarizes key findings of this paper.
