Workforce Health Engagement is a show exploring strategies to improve your employees’ health and productivity – and to protect your bottom line. Join us as industry experts discuss how to engage employees in population health management, wellness, and healthcare consumerism. Workforce Health Engagement is a special series for CEOs, HR executives, and other business leaders about creating a culture of health and building on the latest trends in areas such as communication, epidemiology, disease management, benefit plan design, worksite clinics, price transparency, and more. Over the long term, a “program of the day” won’t help you boost employee health, productivity, and your bottom line. For sustainable success, you need an integrated approach to workforce health engagement.

WHE19: Transitioning to Tobacco-Free Workplaces | with Laura Higginbotham from Owens Corning

Tobacco-free workplaces have become the norm, but what if your company still has older facilities that have permitted smoking and tobacco products for years? You may face serious resistance from employees, unions, and even local management to transition the facility to a tobacco-free workplace. How do you effectively engage employees and leaders to support the change to tobacco-free?
To share her experience and discuss best practices, our guest is Laura Higginbotham. She is Health and Productivity Leader at Owens Corning, a Fortune 500 manufacturer with about 15,000 employees in 27 countries. OC is most famous for its PINK® FIBERGLAS™ insulation and its mascot, the Pink Panther. The Owens Corning World Headquarters campus has been tobacco-free since the new campus opened in the 1990s. Over the years, Owens Corning has also opened several new tobacco-free manufacturing plants, but at the beginning of 2013, smoking and tobacco products were still a part of daily life at several older factories.
My interview with Laura was recently recorded onsite at OC’s World Headquarters in Toledo, Ohio.
