Guidance on Development of Employer Value Dashboards.

Recent industry surveys indicate that a majority of employers are offering health and well-being (HWB) programs to their employees,[1],[2] but the reasons for offering them have changed over time. Metrics which are directly related can be positioned most proximal to the central key metric while indirectly related metrics might be positioned in the outer periphery and linked to the more proximal metrics to indicate how their influence is realized. Executive leaders are likely to be interested in business performance and financial impact metrics, but it is important to demonstrate how leading process indicators such as program utilization and satisfaction rates as well as health outcomes influence these metrics. The Value Demonstration Dashboard organizes the meaningful metrics into a narrative about how the metrics are related to one another and link the HWB initiative to broader organizational goals.
