The International Corporate Health Leadership Council is a firstof-its-kind, 501(c) non-profit think tank made up of the most senior leadership in corporate health-medical directors, corporate executives, thought leaders and researchers. The members of the Council represent a cross-section of global industries including manufacturing, finance, technology, automotive and energy/mining/ infrastructure industries, with representation from both the CDC and WHO, and employing over two million people worldwide. The Council surveyed global organizations, reviewed recent literature, and canvassed leading global health experts. Six corporate health trends were identified and 10 key recommended actions were established to best protect an organization’s global assets (its employees). The actions are based on three pillars: people, place, and purpose. This presentation outlines the Council’s findings and recommended actions.
