About IHPM™
The Institute for Health and Productivity Management (IHPM) was created in 1997 as a non-profit enterprise with a mission to establish the full value of employee health as an economic asset – an investment in workplace productivity and business financial performance. These are global issues connected with the success of companies as well as nations. IHPM champions the idea of health as “Human capital” – as important as skills and technology and the greatest untapped source of competitive advantage in a global economy. IHPM helps employers:
*Identify the total economic cost impact of employee health issues on productivity and business performance;
*Make the best investments to reduce this economic cost impact by improving employee health and productivity;
*Measure the success of these efforts in improved financial results and a supportive “culture of health” for the future.
To put this new idea about health into action, IHPM developed the Health & Productivity Management (HPM) model, demonstrated that it works through multiple field projects with employers, and published those results in the research literature. The institute works globally with all the major stakeholders in workplace health and productivity – health service providers, pharmaceutical makers, health insurers, and government ministries, as well as employers.
WorkPlace Wellness Alliance™ (Created by the World Economic Forum [WEF], Powered by IHPM)
At the instigation of CEOs from a global group of multinational companies, the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Geneva created the Workplace Wellness Alliance (WPWA) to promote wellness and prevention programs to reduce the total economic cost burden of chronic health risks and conditions, including lost productivity. In 2013, the WEF transferred global leadership of the Alliance to IHPM at its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
Through a Global Steering Group and Business Leadership Council – as well as regional chapters established in Asia, Europe, South Africa and the Middle East, IHPM | WPWA pursues a mission to “advance health and performance globally” by:
- Serving as the premier global resource on health and productivity management;
- Developing tools, metrics, and methods to drive and measure better health and performance;
- Educating and equipping all stakeholders to gain greater business value from improving employee health, wellbeing, and performance.
Academy for Health and Productivity Management™
Having developed and proven the HPM Model in real-world employer settings, the Institute now provides training and certification in the Professional Discipline of Health & Productivity Management through its Academy.
The Academy offers:
- On-site 2-day sessions for health, wellness & wellbeing, occupational health and human resource/benefit professionals;
- On-site 1-day Executive Sessions for senior corporate officers and managers.
WorkPlace Resource Centers™
IHPM’s WorkPlace Resource Centers advance identification, prevention, early diagnosis and systematic management of the health risk factors and chronic conditions with the greatest impact on employers’ total economic cost burden of illness. The Centers provide a focus for the Institute’s field research projects and educational forums, which deliver special value to participating employers and sponsors while creating new knowledge to be shared through IHPM’s publications and worldwide events.
The Centers also provide online information as a guide for finding trusted, validated resources. These include:
(1) Cardio-Metabolic Health
