Losses associated with reduced productivity and lack of workers range from 12‰ to 28‰ and depend on the number of risk factors. The costs of health care, absence, or non-effective presence due to illness cost US employers $200 billion annually - more than $1500 per worker. The cost to employers, both private individuals and public companies of temporary disability and compensation for injuries and new occupational diseases in the UK agro-industrial sector in 2017-2018 was £286 thousand. The article provides an overview of modern health management technologies aimed at preventing socially significant diseases in labour collectives, reducing temporary incapacity to work, improving the image of the employer and increasing the investment attractiveness of companies. The presented results of efficiency of the best foreign and Russian corporate programs of health promotion show the need to include these programs in the activities of companies.
