Situational Analyses

We will work with the sophisticated employer to develop highly customized workplace programs designed to address various health issues that can be expected in a particular workforce. Because there are wide health disparities in the domestic workforce that can be based on many factors including immutable characteristics such as race or gender, lifestyle choices, or geographic location, using our background in data collection and analysis, S&H can assist your company in creating a wellness program to address the likely health issues your current, and future, employees will be faced with while in your employ.

For example, in this country, one in every 300 Americans is infected with HIV and AIDS is the second leading cause of death among U.S. adults 25-44 years old while more than half of the U.S. workforce falls in that age category. Two-thirds of large businesses have employees with HIV infection or AIDS and one in 10 small businesses has employees with HIV or AIDS. Researchers have documented that HIV/AIDS has raised costs for businesses through: absenteeism due to the ill health of a worker or a member of the worker's family; higher medical care and benefit costs; funeral costs for employees; employee attrition due to illness or death; and additional efforts needed to recruit new staff.

However, the HIV epidemic differs significantly across the country. Using public health surveillance data, S&H can help your company to implement an evidence-based program to educate employees about the risks of HIV/AIDS, prevent its spread between your workers and accommodate their needs while at work. With our expertise, we can help you institute workplace programs that reflect your company’s specific needs for this disease, and others, that effect your workers.
