Corporate Human Performance Risk Assessment is a strategic process designed to identify, analyze, and mitigate risks that impact employee health, productivity, and overall organizational performance. At its core, this assessment evaluates factors such as absenteeism, presenteeism, health risks, and workplace wellness initiatives, providing actionable insights for boosting workplace efficiency. A critical element in this process is addressing the health of employees, particularly obesity and overweight, which are growing concerns in modern workplaces.
The Cost of Obesity and Overweight in the Workplace
Research shows that obese and overweight employees can significantly impact organizational costs. These individuals often experience higher rates of absenteeism due to obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, presenteeism—when employees are physically at work but perform sub-optimally due to health issues—can drain productivity. Increased healthcare claims, disability benefits, and turnover rates further strain corporate budgets. Left unchecked, these challenges can undermine business growth and employee morale.
