Investing in Health Management

• Do nothing strategy no longer works.
• Waiting until costs are unmanageable can be more
  costly and ineffective.
• The goal of effective worksite health promotion
  initiatives is to shift the curve by investing in
  prevention rather than high-cost management.
• Employers need to manage the health of their
  human capital like they manage other corporate
  assets.
