Earlier this month, IBI President Dr. Tom Parry sat down with Sedgwick Institute’s Chris Mandel to discuss IBI’s 20-year trajectory within the ever-evolving field of occupational health. In this podcast, Dr. Parry advocates for an increased attention to the business value of workforce health, recognizing that health must be considered not simply a cost, but also a key element of overall business strategy. The discussion touches on the early tenure of IBI, as well as IBI’s recent shift in attention to absence and productivity research.
