Healthy Business Coalition

The Business Actions for a Healthy Society offers guidance for business on how to “move the needle” on community health in the U.S. and positively impact the social determinants of health, especially with respect to building back better after the pandemic. The Actions place particular emphasis on addressing the needs of groups that are suffering disproportionately due to the forces of systemic racism.

Create good jobs—including offering paid leave, living wages, financial health, and benefits that meet the basic needs of direct and indirect workers and their families—that reduce poverty and build wealth. This resource contains a roadmap and scorecard.

Cultivate a work environment that supports and provides resources for positive mental health—psychological, emotional, and social—for all workers so that mental health achieves parity with physical health

This five-part toolkit aims to help companies realize their full potential to strengthen community health, and each module takes users through a journey from initiation to evaluation of a healthy business initiative. Start by selecting the toolkit module that best aligns with the most relevant challenge your company is facing. Then advance to subsequent modules, as each module is designed to build on one another.
