Abstract

This study was undertaken to review the literature on employee health management programs (EHMPs). We
explored the history and characteristics of systematic organizational efforts to improve workforce health and
well‐being. We believe that a historical perspective provides some insight into the economic, political,
and social factors that have influenced the trend toward organizationally sanctioned health‐promotion
efforts. Further, we investigated the likely effects of these programs on valued‐behavioral organizational
outcomes such as employee performance, employee satisfaction, absenteeism, and voluntary turnover. Our findings
show that voluntary general‐focus programs are unrelated to job performance, and voluntary programs are
negatively related to absenteeism, but effects on absenteeism wane when the program is not voluntary. Moreover,
EHMPs are minimally related to job satisfaction and slightly related to turnover. These results, examining
behavioral outcomes of EHMPs, question the ability of EHMPs to provide desired behavioral changes in employees,
changes that organizations seek to maximize such as increased performance. Are EHMPs more than just socially
acceptable programs that help individuals with health problems? © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
