Which costs an organization more?? Absenteeism and Presenteeism??

Absenteeism is the failure to report for work as scheduled. Presenteeism is showing up to work when one is ill .  Both cause a decrement in productivity. On a continuum, presenteeism stands between full work engagement and absenteeism.  Some estimate that presenteeism costs 4 times as much as absenteeism (Karin Iten, 2013)...  While the exact data on impact of presenteeism is not universally agreed upon...Work @ Health focuses on reducing both through a comprehensive worksite health program.   The one day workshop on October 18 in Atlanta  included citations for tools that can be used establishing the baseline measure andeither building or enhancing worksite health.

How can I get middle management support for worksite health?

Work@Health curricula include specific ways to build middle management support for worksite health by identifying "what's in it for them". Often we focus on top leadership and on engagement of "all employees" and leave out the middle managers....but they are key to actually engaging the majority of the employees and supporting their involvement.   Join us for the one day  Pre FNCE Workshop that provides all the mateirals needed to create or enhance a comprehensive worksite health in small businesses

Do I know everything I need to know about my organization???

Most will think of organizational environmental factors and individual health risk factors as part of a worksite health assessment. But these are only two of the four types of information in a full assessment.  Workshop at FNCE  addresses four types of information needed:  1) individual, 2) interpersonal, 3) organizational and 4) environmental assessments that guide the worksite health program development.  The one day Workshop on October 18 in Atlanta provides all the information and tools needed to conduct a comprehensive worksite evaluation.
