Beyond the Workplace: An Employer’s Guide to Addressing the Social Drivers of Health

Summary

Your employees’ health is shaped by more than what happens at the doctor's office. Their home life, education, neighborhood, and community support systems play a significant role. These factors, known as social drivers of health (SDOH), are responsible for 80-90% of a person’s health outcomes - far more than medical care alone. Companies have a powerful opportunity to help reduce these barriers by understanding the unique needs of their employee population and designing benefits that take these disparities into account. While it may not be possible to remove all barriers to health for all individuals, you can offer tools and resources that make benefits more accessible to all employees.

Our latest playbook explores the impact of SDOH on employee well-being and how businesses can champion health equity in the workplace to:

• Foster an inclusive and supportive work environment
• Boost employee engagement and productivity
• Reduce absenteeism and create a happier, healthier workforce
