2009 HERO Forum for Employee Health Management
and
The C. Everett Koop National Health Awards
InterContinental – Atlanta
September 22-24, 2009
The C. Everett Koop
National Health Awards - The Forum is again
honored to be the venue for the highly respected
and coveted Koop Awards. Last year, Dr. Koop and key
individuals from The Health Project added significantly to the overall
success and value of the Forum. You will have the opportunity to learn
the details about the Koop Award winning programs and network with the
corporate executives and managers who are responsible.
2009 HERO Forum - The
Forum is dedicated to providing a cutting edge employee health
management (EHM) networking, learning, sharing
experience. This is possible because the Forum has become the
gathering place for the EHM national experts
and thought leaders who facilitate various events and
are available to interact with you. In addition, corporate
executives and managers whose EHM programs are
the best in the country are at the meeting. This is an extraordinary
opportunity to meet and get to know those who have crafted
and manage the best EHM programs. To enhance
networking, learning and sharing, registration is limited to 230
individuals. Last year the registration was closed about one month
before the event, so early registration is recommended.
For more information and to register, click on the
Forum Information link. We look
forward to seeing you in Atlanta so you
can be part of the most participant-oriented, skills-sharpening EHM
event of 2009. If you have questions or need more
information, please send an email to
info@the-hero.org.
HERO Association for Employee Health Management
(HERO Association)

Are
you interested in meaningful employee health management (EHM)
networking? Are you looking for a place to learn about the latest in
EHM innovation? Would you like to participate in
targeted EHM discussions to help you develop practical
solutions? Would you benefit from industry information that has been developed
and successfully used by other industry professionals? If yes, the HERO
Association is for you!
The HERO Association is an operating division of HERO, and
works in close collaboration with the HERO Think Tank. HERO
Think Tank members, many of whom are recognized EHM experts and
thought leaders, provided expertise, advice, and leadership in
the design and development of the HERO Association. In fact, HERO conducted a
series of surveys with EHM professionals to determine what HERO
Association member benefits are most important.
As a HERO Association member, you will gain immediate access to a blend of
high tech and high touch benefits geared to
enhance your professional network, provide you with resources
to enrich your career and present you with opportunities to
lead our industry. After operations begin, benefits will continue to expand
based on the recommendations of the membership.
HERO Best Practice
Scorecard – Version 3.0
in Collaboration with MERCER

We are pleased to announce an exciting
collaboration between HERO and MERCER that will enhance the
art and science of Employee Health Management
(EHM) benchmarking and Best
Practice. Individuals from HERO and MERCER have collaborated to create the new HERO Scorecard Version 3.0 (Scorecard
V3.0). The objective is to elevate the understanding, acceptance,
and accountability of EHM best practice, and establish the HERO
Scorecard V3.0 as the assessment instrument of choice.
The HERO Scorecard V3.0 is now available. For more information
about the Scorecard V3.0, click on the
Scorecard link. You
are invited to use the online Scorecard V3.0 to input your EHM program
benchmarking and best practice information. In return, you will be
sent, without charge, an aggregate benchmarking and best practice report
based on all of the information submitted to the online Scorecard V3.0.
For more information and to become involved, click on the
Scorecard link.
HERO and MERCER also plan to collaborate and
co-own a large scale, interactive EHM benchmarking and best
practice normative database. When available, this
database will be used to compare your program with best
practices and data from other demographically similar
programs. As the EHM industry continues to move forward, the
determination of benchmarks and the establishment of best practice are
essential. The Scorecard V3.0 is a break through that
addresses this need.
