Why is the Forum so meaningful and successful?  The Forum is different.  All events are highly interactive, with the time shared between the facilitators and you, the participants.  The employee health management (EHM) experts do not lecture on "what you should do", instead they use an interactive approach to help you learn "how to do it".  During the discussions, the participants have time to share their experiences, reaction, critique, questions and answers.  Another thing that makes the Forum different is that you are a participant in the highly respected and coveted C. Everett Koop National Health Awards ceremony. The following are the Forum core events:

The Power of Corporate Culture In the world of employee health management, there is increasing opinion that corporate culture is a prerequisite for the creation of successful EHM programming.  The primary question is what is necessary to create health oriented corporate culture?  This Audience-Panel Discussion features a large, mid-size, and small company which are universally recognized for having exemplar levels of corporate culture.  The companies involved are: Johnson & Johnson, Affinia Group, and Lincoln Industries.  This is a rare opportunity to interact with national experts who know what corporate culture is, and how to achieve employee buy-in.

EHM Research Quality, unbiased, research is essential for the success of the EHM industry.  Fortunately, the volume and quality of research is increasing significantly.  This is a good thing because program documentation and outcomes are not an option, but a requirement.  This Audience-Panel Discussion brings together four of the top EHM research experts and thought leaders.  They will provide an overview of research that is in the planning stages, underway, and that which has been recently published.  There is ample time for you to ask questions and provide your critique.  Your knowledge about EHM research will increase significantly.

EHM Innovation Getting out of the box is what this Audience-Panel Discussion is all about.  Looking for, and developing new, more effective ways to create behavioral change, increase participation, enhance cost impact, and reduce health care costs is at the epicenter of innovation.  This Audience-Panel Discussion features individuals who have an established record of understanding and developing major EHM innovation activities.  This is a highly interactive event, where you will have the opportunity not only to absorb the recommendations of the panel members, but to also discuss and explain your innovation concepts and success.

HERO Best Practice Scorecard – Version 3.0
in Collaboration with MERCER

 Teams from HERO and Mercer have worked together to enhance the art and science of employee health management (EHM) benchmarking and best practice through the creation of the HERO Scorecard V3.0.  The objective is to elevate the understanding, acceptance and accountability of EHM best practice and establish the Scorecard as the assessment instrument of choice.  Part of this effort has been the creation and operation of a large scale benchmark database.  The database is operational and is being populated by a rapidly growing number of EHM programs.

The new HERO Benchmark Report is now available.  The Benchmark Report provides a comprehensive view of EHM programs and practices used by employers, both large and small.   Included in the Benchmark Report are the aggregate responses to over 75 Scorecard questions that supply comprehensive information on issues like program strategy, design and outcomes.  In addition, results have been divided into benchmark groups, based on: industry, size, and geographical location.  This compares your program's benchmarking and best practice development with other demographically similar programs.

You can order your Benchmark Report using an American Express, Master Card of Visa credit card.  You will receive the current Benchmark Report within three business days.  Later your will receive three additional update reports automatically at the the close of each quarter.  The one year, four Benchmark Report package cost is $500.  for more details and information click on the Benchmark Report link.
