Bridging the Gap:

You and a Healthier,
More Productive Workforce 

There’s little question that your most important asset – the key to your company – is your people. They’re the blood that carries the oxygen that flexes your business muscle. Their effectiveness and productivity drive your success.

Your strategy for their health or safety has become a core business issue. You want to know that your costs in this area -- your investments -- are benefiting the company bottom line, but you also want to do right by your workers and improve their lives.

Which measurable factors are most affecting the health and productivity of your workers? Should you change your plan’s coverage for health care services or drugs? What new educational management program offers the “biggest bang for the buck” for improving worker performance and quality of life?  How can it be best rolled out? The steps you recently took targeting your most costly disease – did they work?

You likely have lots of data around to address these kinds of questions already:  claims data, absentee and safety records, and production reports.   But can you convert these data into information that answers these questions?  More importantly, are the data as complete as they could be?  Do they also capture in credible and actionable ways the pertinent experiences of your employees – in their own words? 

The Harris Allen Group specializes in scientific approaches for measuring employee health and productivity.  We develop, analyze, and report on custom databases that are as comprehensive as your organizational climate, context and resources allow.  We gather self-report data and merge them with the available traditional data into integrated database to guide the key decisions you need to make.

We also specialize in the development and rollout of strategies and programs for managing employee health and productivity.  We can collaborate with you and your vendor partners to optimize existing programs.   OR, we can work from the ground up to design and roll out interventions for targeted population or patient characteristics.

So, if you’re new to the idea of worker health and productivity, we’ll help you to determine where best to start.  If you’ve decided to act, we’ll help you develop and implement a program of action in ways that increase its chances of success.  If you want to know how effective your program is - how it compares to other investments you have made - we’ll conduct a rigorous evaluation to give our best answer.

We invite you to learn more about us here, or to call 617-730-5523 to discuss how we can help you face your employees' health and productivity challenges.
