Institute for Health and Productivity Management

What Institute for Health and Productivity Management does

The Institute for Health and Productivity Management (IHPM) is a global nonprofit enterprise headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, established to position employee health as a business asset rather than a medical benefit cost. It serves HR and benefits leadership at large multinational employers through a proprietary Health & Productivity Management (HPM) model that integrates wellness, occupational health, and disease management to reduce functional impairment and improve work performance. The organization operates WorkPlace Resource Centers focused on behavioral/mental health and cardio-metabolic health, delivers on-site two-day and executive one-day training leading to the C-HPM professional certification, and publishes the peer-reviewed International Journal of Health & Productivity. Its global standing is anchored by leadership of the World Economic Forum's Workplace Wellness Alliance since 2013, with Chapter Forums active in the USA, Europe, UK, Middle East, China, and Eurasia/Russia.

IHPM monetizes through a tiered membership ecosystem: Global Steering Group Partnerships at $25,000 annually (with 15+ named multinationals including Pfizer, Merck, ExxonMobil, Shell, Saudi Aramco, and Nestlé), Business Leadership Council at $4,500 annually (100+ member companies), and Associate Membership at $2,500. Additional revenue streams include bespoke consulting delivered by former corporate health and medical executives, on-site C-HPM certification programs, paid webinars ($27,500), Employer Forums ($45,000-$57,500), Employer Advisory Boards ($50,000), employer surveys ($40,000), white papers ($15,000-$20,000), journal subscriptions ($125/year), and a Pharmacy Stewardship Program co-developed with Limitless Consulting. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to multinational buyers, supported by a 15,000+ contact business media network, an e-commerce publications storefront, and partner integrations (Novo Nordisk for metabolic health, ADoH Scientific EMOTII for behavioral health, HAPS Be Well@Work, and Marital Dispute Advisors).
