The Health and Productivity Management Toolkit is a special workplace resource created by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM). ACOEM'S mission is to promote healthier, more productive workplaces, and this Toolkit offers practical advice and resources to help achieve this goal.


The Toolkit helps individuals understand the concepts of Health and Productivity Management (HPM) and the value of a healthy workforce. It was designed for physicians, nurses, health resource and health benefits professionals, insurers, employers and others who deal with health and wellness issues in the workplace.


The Toolkit provides access to video, audio and written content – including more than 1,000 pages of academic and research material – that you can use to build your skills in Health and Productivity Management.


An audio "tutor" provides instruction in each of the Toolkit's chapters, which include:


  • Getting Started — How To Use This Site
  • What is Health and Productivity Management?
  • Key Elements of Health and Productivity
  • Measuring Health and Productivity
  • The Impact of HPM on the Workplace
  • Integrating OEM, HR and Benefits
  • Evidence Based Medicine
  • Promoting HPM to Senior Management
  • Putting it All Together — Case Studies

Each chapter includes an instructional slide presentation and a variety of other supporting documents and resources. The HPM Toolkit also includes a glossary, extensive bibliography of research and scholarly articles and a variety of other educational resources. The Toolkit can be used to fulfill Continuing Medical Education credits (to learn more, visit the "CME" tab on the HPM introduction page.)


The HPM Toolkit is a subscription-based service. Subscriptions are $189 ($139 for ACOEM members). The initial subscription fee provides one year of online access to the kit, which includes periodic research updates, additional case studies and other new material. Yearly subscription fee after the initial year is $89 ($49 for ACOEM members.)


Your yearly subscription fee gives you access to the full website, which includes periodic updates. When you subscribe you will be issued a password that enables access to the site at any time.


If at any time you have questions or would like more information about the Toolkit, please visit ACOEM at www.acoem.org or call us at 847-818-1800.
