  • Businesses have a vital role in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, and also in helping their employees—who live with chronic conditions—to enjoy a high quality of life, and work productively. This role is critical to individual health and well-being, firm-level success, sector performance and, ultimately, the overall prosperity of Canada.
  • Through its Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management, Signal49 Research examines the pressures that chronic diseases place on our economy, health systems, individual quality of life, and the health of our communities. This briefing by Signal49 Research, probes the impacts that chronic diseases are having on organizations, and highlights actions that are being taken by some employers to address these impacts. Two Canadian case studies—the Vancouver Board of Trade Health, Wellness and Well-Being Task Force and the VON— provide insights into how the business community is engaging in these efforts.
