Abstract
Employee health management programs (EHMPs) have been receiving increased attention. This paper argues that studies assessing the effect of EHMPs on individual and organizational outcomes have great potential for managerial/organizational research and practice. It proposes a framework that integrates previous employee health management program (EHMP) research from diverse disciplines. It also suggests a research agenda that indicates how management scholars may make a significant contribution to EHMP research, to an understanding of organizational functioning, and to improved organizational performance.Keywords
