First of all, let's learn what employee health management is.
Employee health management is a kind of enterprise management behavior. Through the enterprise itself or with the help of the third party, the health status of employees in the enterprise is tracked and evaluated from the physiological and psychological perspectives, so as to systematically safeguard the physical and mental health of employees in the enterprise, reduce medical costs and improve the overall production efficiency of the enterprise.
The concept of health management mainly comes from the rise of medical expenses in modern society, the development of commercial insurance and the progress of medical health. The most unhealthy 20% people occupy 80% of medical and health resources, while the other 80% people may become the most unhealthy or sick individuals. Therefore, if the society only pays attention to the sick people and ignores the influence of health risk factors in the non-sick people, the sick people will inevitably expand, resulting in unbearable medical and health expenditure. Therefore, the health management of non-sick people is not only an urgent task for enterprises, but also for society. The health management of employees in enterprises is a process of comprehensively controlling the health risks of all employees, and it is a planned and organized system, aiming at improving the health awareness, health behavior and quality of life of all employees.
Then why does the company spend money on employee health management?
In fact, simply speaking, employees are the foundation of an enterprise. Once employees have problems, enterprises will also have big or small problems, which may seriously lead enterprises to face huge risks, just like the sensational Foxconn incident that year. Therefore, for the sustainable development of enterprises, it is necessary to manage the physical and mental health of employees, eliminate potential problems and avoid enterprise risks.
As far as enterprise development is concerned, doing a good job in employee health management is conducive to improving organizational performance and enterprise productivity, and enhancing enterprise cohesion.
To do a good job in employee health management, our enterprise should not only diagnose and treat, but also focus on prevention and control. Employee health management is also a "people-oriented" corporate culture, which includes the dual management of employees' "physical" and "mental" health. Enterprises can't just do a good job of physical examination for employees, such as arranging physical examination for employees regularly and establishing health records for employees. At the same time, it is necessary to understand and guide employees' mental health, such as introducing enterprise EAP and regularly following up employees' emotional state.
Talent is the primary productive force, and healthy talent is the core competitiveness of enterprises. Employees are the life of an enterprise and the most important factor to bring benefits to the enterprise. They are not only laborers, but also important intellectual capital. However, at present, the understanding of "health management" in most domestic enterprises only stays in the physical examination of employees, but in fact, employee health management is a system, which needs psychological counseling, establishment of files, regular follow-up and review. Therefore, it is suggested that enterprises without relevant experience can start with the introduction of professional outsourcing companies to assist in management.
