International well-being scorecard for employers launched

HRHQ-Well-Being

The Health Enhancement Research Organization (HERO) and Mercer L.L.C. have launched an international version of their U.S. scorecard that analyzes employers’ health and well-being best practices.

The international HERO Health and Well-being Best Practices Scorecard in Collaboration with Mercer allows employers to evaluate their workplace health initiatives with an inventory of current best practices compiled by industry leaders. The HERO International Scorecard is based on the U.S. version which was released in 2008.

After submitting the online scorecard, the employer immediately receives an email showing their best practice scores in six areas that contribute to employee health and well-being. As employers begin completing the new HERO International Scorecard, benchmarks will become available that allow employers to compare their programs to others in their own country and in other countries where the Scorecard is used.

“Companies benefit in multiple ways by completing the HERO Scorecard: from access to information about best practices and comparative benchmarking, to planning for future program enhancements and building internal consensus for improvements,” Steven Noeldner, Mercer partner and chair of the HERO Research Study Subcommittee, said in the statement. “Providing this breadth of analysis and comparison for domestic and international business will streamline efforts for employers and give them a competitive advantage in building a healthy workforce now and in the future.”
