 Download the new Partnership for Prevention/U.S. Chamber of Commerce Leading by Example: Leading Practices for Employee Health Management publication here >> Partnership for Prevention's Leading by Example CEO-to-CEO initiative is designed to leverage the workplace to improve health by promoting greater business involvement in health promotion and disease prevention. The macro goal of Leading by Example is for CEOs to influence the American healthcare system to emphasize prevention rather than treatment. At the core of the initiative are enlightened CEOs who play a pivotal role in advancing worksite health promotion both through their influence on corporate culture and visible support for such programs.
The participating CEOs "lead by example" in that they make health promotion and disease prevention a part of their business strategy to achieve success through optimum employee performance, and management of health care costs. Additionally, their participation in the Leading by Example initiative helps other executive leaders understand and appreciate the relationship between a healthy workforce and a healthy bottom line. Through the Leading by Example CEO Roundtable™ initiative, CEOs who have incorporated new, successful approaches to employee health and productivity share their experiences and knowledge with other CEOs. Partnership for Prevention and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are proud to have developed a new guide as a powerful tool for employers. Real examples and strategies from employers of every size demonstrate the business case for investing in employee health. By sharing promising approaches to managing employee health, businesses can learn from each other. The health care cost crisis is not an issue to be left to HR departments or middle managers to solve. It should be a top-level issue for every company.
