雇主赞助的健康促进可以改善员工的健康和士气，减少医疗索赔和缺勤有效性取决于那些健康风险增加的员工的参与，HealthPlus Health Quotient是一种激励/抑制健康促进的方法，雇主对员工健康计划福利包的贡献是根据年度健康风险评估进行调整的，我们评估了这种经济激励/抑制是否预测了健康促进活动的参与，以及参与是否改善了未来的健康风险和生产力。在第一年，参与与总体健康风险成正比（P < 0.01）。参与有针对性的计划与身体脂肪，胆固醇和血压水平成正比。参与活动相关的健康促进是成比例的前一年的活动或健身分数，健康促进参与者改善他们的下一年的健康风险比非参与者，参与与减少疾病相关的缺勤和（虽然不一致）与医疗索赔支付和短期残疾。
Employer-sponsored health promotion can improve employee health and morale and reduce medical claims and absenteeism Effectiveness depends on the participation of those employees who are at increased risk of ill health, HealthPlus Health Quotient is nn incentive/disincentive approach to health promotion, The employer's contribution to the employee cafeteria-plan benefit package is adjusted on the basis of an annual health risk appraisal, We evaluated whether this financial incentive/disincentive predicted participation in health promotion activities, and whether participation improved future health risk and productivity, In the first year, participation was proportional to overall health risk (P < 0.01). Participation in targeted programs was proportional to levels of body fat, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Participation in activity-related health promotion was proportional to prior-year activity or fitness scores, Health promotion participants improved their subsequent year health risk more than did non-participants, Participation was associated with reduced illness-related absenteeism and (although inconsistently) with medical claims paid and short-term disability.
