Foundation for Integrating Employee Health Activities for Active Duty Personnel in the Department of Defense

Abstract

DoD is a unique and immense employer that is committed to providing medical care and meeting the safety and occupation health needs of its workforce. Historically, DoD has approached occupational health and safety as issues largely separate from other aspects of employee health. However, innovative thinking in recent years has coalesced around the idea of integrating all activities related to employee health. Given its large active duty workforce plus the large number of diverse work sites and the widely varying risks of military duty, DoD has growing interest in exploring whether integration of existing DoD programs related to employee health could improve the health and wellness of DoD's active duty service members and also result in other benefits for DoD (e.g., increased productivity).
