In the 2014 report, the Council identified five health trends and 10 recommended actions that best protect the globally mobile workforce. Like the Corporate Health Trends 2014 report, this report, with an eye on the future, assesses current literature and reviews corporate polling results to provide management with recommendations to best protect and support an organization’s mobile workforce. In this report the Council surveyed global organizations (n=344), reviewed recent literature, and canvassed leading experts to document what they believe to be the most relevant global health trends for 2018 and beyond. In this 2018 report, the Council identified eight new health trends and modified the 10 recommended actions to reflect these new trends. 

The purpose of this report is three-fold: 

  • Evaluate and document the global health trends with an eye on the future and the real and potential impact of these trends on employee health
  • Provide expert guidance to corporate management regarding the benchmark standards and best practices to mitigate against the impact of those negative trend
  • Offer future predictions for global health trends
