The idea behind this Worksite Doc blog is to provide original, as well as referenced content on topics that may be of interest to those passionate about workplace health. I am a firm believer in the integration of all aspects of health that are impacted by work, and vice versa. I have devoted my professional life to understanding the intersection of health and work. I believe we can all come together to promote and protect our most valuable asset, and the most valuable asset held by any organization or employer, the health of its people.
This Blog focuses on the subject areas of workplace health, productivity, and wellness. The topics include, but are not limited to, such diverse areas as:
- Absence leave and Disability; STD; LTD; Workers’ Compensation; Life & Health Insurance;
- Disability Prevention and Management; Employee Benefit Program Design & Evaluation;
- Workplace Wellness/Wellbeing;
- Occupational Health; Occupational Rehabilitation;
- Mental (Brain) Health; Musculoskeletal Health;
- Chronic Disease; Health Risk Assessment/Appraisal;
- Occupational Epidemiology;
- Data Analytics; Applied Research;
- Workplace Health & Safety
I take a practical, evidence-informed and research-based approach to my commentary on these topics. We now live in an age of opinion-based facts, rather than fact-based opinions, which is very dangerous. I encourage you to do your research (no, Facebook or YouTube University does not count!), and put trust in the health thought leaders, scientists and practitioners who make health their priority.
Please feel free to reach out, it would be great to hear from you!
