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)

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.
