Laptop showing The Impact of Social Health on Your Workforce guide

Health inequities are health differences that arise from societal inequality and social drivers of health. Factors such as access to fresh food, reliable transportation, and affordable child care can have a big impact on your employees’ ability to be fully engaged at work. Perhaps counterintuitively, the stress of solving life’s daily problems with scarce resources can get in the way of workers taking advantage of the benefits available to them. The result is that workers with economic and social disadvantages often have worse health outcomes. Society is gathering momentum to fight inequities, but tangible solutions can be hard to find.

 

Learn how you can help remove the most pressing barriers your employees face in achieving their optimal health.
