In a partnership with the CDC, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the University of Georgia (UGA), Thomson Reuters led a Landscape assessment of U.S. employers’ Workforce Health, Health Promotion, and Safety (WHHPS) activities to identify the WHHPS components that support their efforts to preserve, protect, and improve employee health. The Landscape Project was a qualitative assessment of emerging integration efforts involving employers; health, demand, disease management vendors; insurance companies; consultants; universities; associations; pharmaceutical companies; government agencies; and other interested parties. The assessment was guided by five key questions related to the Who, What, How, Where, and Why of WHHPS. Through a review of publicly available documentation and literatures, we identified the most recent WHHPS efforts among employers who are driving integration efforts and are the hub around which vendors, researchers, and policy organizations revolve.
