Abstract:: The enactment of federal health care reform has placed employer-sponsored health plans at a crossroads, and most employers will be facing key strategic decisions over the next few years. As they study options ranging from extending coverage to more employees to allowing certain employees to be covered by public exchanges, it will be critical to consider the impact of such decisions on workforce health - and, in turn, on company operations and overall business costs. Employees with serious health issues not only drive higher health care costs, but also are less productive, spend more time away from work and drive up disability payments.
