Employers can play a pivotal role in reducing cancer incidence and premature death. Healthier employees and healthier bottom lines can be achieved by providing evidence-based prevention and early detection services and encouraging employee engagement. By providing access and encouraging participation, more lives – and more money-be saved. The Gold Standard’s employer-led work-place wellness model is now being shared in China and across the globe. 

​Ann Skye, BSN, MPH, Associate Director, Employee Health Management, IQVIA, and Global Gold Standard Subcommittee Chair, was invited by the International Association of Worksite Health Promotion (IAWHP) and the Global Center for Healthy Workplaces (GCHW) to discuss how the Gold Standard’s evidence-based wellness framework can be adopted by corporations with a presence in the US, China and globally. Ann was joined by representatives from Gold Standard employers, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis who also shared their unique insights and perspectives.

The informative presentation and subsequent discussion focused on the challenges associated with adapting the Gold Standard requirements to a global workforce with particular emphasis on China. A recording of the webinar is available here.

​Meeting the Gold Standard’s comprehensive requirements is a notable achievement. To meet the complex challenges of adopting this standard of health and wellness globally and in China takes exceptional leadership.
