"Behavioral risk management applies to risks connected with the workplace
behaviors of employees and organizations that have a negative impact on the
productivity of an organization; behavioral healthcare episodes and the cost of
treating these episodes; and lifestyle behaviors that lead to preventable healthcare
conditions and the cost of treating these conditions."
Rudy Yandrick, 1996, Behavioral Risk Management
Behavioral Risk Management Program:
• Identifying the organization's behavior related risks
• Reviewing programs, policies and services that affect risk
• Compiling data indicating risk and effectiveness of behavioral risk
• Measuring and analyzing data
• Introducing and/or modifying programs and services before
they result in physical or mental problems
A behavioral risk management program provides:
• Focus on behavioral, not healthcare issues
• Global management of behavioral risks
• "Ownership" by the organization of its risks and
internal management of the solutions to them
• Use of computerized information management
• Integration of individual behavior and organizational
behavior problems and solutions
Employees access their mental stress Worker's Comp benefits when they do not feel heard.
