Abstract

The increasing incidence of employee health issues generates high costs for employers as well as for the insurers. By reviewing the literature on different forms of integrated workplace health management systems, we find that by implementing just a few prevention measures, positive returns can be achieved for the employer, the employee and the insurer. Given that the market seems incapable of creating this allocation improvement by itself, the integration of health management into the Working Conditions Act seems reasonable.
