The C.

The HERO Forum for Employee Health Management Solutions - The 2010 HERO Forum is dedicated to providing a cutting edge employee health management (EHM) networking, learning, and sharing experience. This is possible because the Forum has become the gathering place for the EHM national experts and thought leaders who facilitate various events and are available to interact with you.  In addition, corporate executives and mangers whose EHM programs are the best in the country are at the meeting.  This is an extraordinary opportunity to meet and get to know those who have crafted and manage the best EHM programs.  To enhance networking, learning and sharing, registration is limited to 230 individuals.  In past years registration has closed about one month before the event so early registration is recommended.

HERO Best Practice Scorecard – Version 3.0
in Collaboration with MERCER

HERO Scorecard

HERO Think Tank Logo

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 or Visa credit card. You will receive the current Benchmark Report within three business days. Later you will receive three additional updated reports automatically in March, June, September, and December. The one year, four Benchmark Report package cost is $500. For more details and information, click on the Benchmark Report link.
